Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path. 

– Psalm 119:105

Happy Valentines Day

Q:  Did Adam and Eve ever have a date? A:  No, they had an apple.

Sorry, I just had to begin today’s post with some Valentine humor…and remember I teach elementary school and bad jokes are a job hazard so I thought I’d share a little “joke love” with you! I watched some video clips about love and Valentine’s Day. The experts they interviewed were a group of 4 and 5 year olds and I must admit I was enlightened.  In honor of the todays holiday, I thought I’d put you all in the mood for a little love with a giggle on the side.  Here’s what I learned…

*Love feels sparkly when it’s real.

*Daddies make the best Valentines because they think you’re perfect.

*If you want someone to be your Valentine you have to share your most special thing with them.

*Kissing doesn’t have anything to do with Valentine’s Day it’s only about being happy.

*Sometimes your mom will make you give a Valentine to everybody even if you don’t want to because it’s good for you to practice love.  I don’t get it but she tells me I will understand someday.

*You should never get married until you are at least 21 years and 345 days old; that’s important.

*Love means everything that’s good like Jesus, puppies and chocolate.

*When I get big I will want high heels, fur coats and lots of chocolate for Valentine’s Day but now I just want a cookie and everybody being nice to me.

*I don’t want squishy hugs and kisses; I want people just to play fun games with me and laugh with me.

There you have it!  The perfect Valentine’s Day tutorial delivered right to your computer!  As I listened to the kids I was struck by the simplicity of it all and the truth of it all.  As I look over the list it almost seems like a to-do list from Jesus.  It’s just what he’s shown us;  His “daddy” is the best Valentine we could ever have, show kindness, show love to all; even when we don’t want to and simple blessings like laughter, compassion and happiness are powerful.  We make it so tough sometimes don’t we! I also have a new word to describe that feeling I get when I have truly recognized God working in my life; sparkly real love!  I’m hoping to enjoy that sparkly real love feeling as I ask God’s blessing on you and those you love this Valentine’s Day.

A Seed To Plant: Take a tip from the kids list and share God’s love with someone this Valentine’s day.  If you are interested in giving someone high heels, fur coats, chocolate OR COFFEE…please let me know I think I can help find just the right person.  ​

Blessings on your day and Happy Valentine’s Day!

It's the simplest things in life that brings us more joy. I find myself the happiest when I give rather than receive.
