A Valentine’s Day Prayer
Mike says that I have problem when it comes to saying "I'm Sorry" cause it's hard for me to admit that I'm wrong. I told him that why should I apologize when I know I'm Right!! :) and to my opinion I'm right almost all the time ha ha ha
I got this Valentine's Day Prayer in my email this morning... and I'd like to share it with y'all. This prayer is for us women who think We are Always Right, there's no right way other than Our Way and Why Should We Apologize When We Know We are SO RIGHT!!! :)
It's time for us to consider that we may not always right, our way is not always the right one and we should apologize just because our spouse wants to hear it comin' from us once in a while... uhhuhhh
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” – I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7
Lord,
Because love is patient… Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage, remembering your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind… Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say “Please” and “Thank You” because those little things still mean so much.
Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud… Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me.
Because love is not rude or self-seeking… Help me to speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I’m tempted to get wrapped up in my own little world, remind me there’s a great big world out there full of needs and hurts.
Because love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs… Help me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can reach out with a hand of love instead.
Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth…Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.
Because love always protects and always trusts… Help me to be a refuge for those around me. When the world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and warmth.
Because love always perseveres… Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Thank you for this day when we celebrate love, and for showing us what that word really means.
Amen.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Happy Valentine's Day to you too! I was just cruising through blogs and found that you are considering fostering to adopt. My husband and I have been fostering to adopt and now have an 8 week old foster daughter we are hoping will get to become ours. It has been so hard, but worth the tears. God Bless you both.
A Love Story
I never knew love until I met You...
You’re the one that completes my soul.
Other times I thought love was real,
Even vowed to have and to hold;
Yet, it wasn’t long as time went by,
The magical flame went out.
Little did I know in days of old
What real love was all about.
You’ve satisfied my deepest longings,
Rejoiced my lonely heart.
You’re the one for whom I’ve searched
Right from the very start.
Everything my heart desires
Is satisfied in You;
And every dream I’ve ever dreamed
Has now at last come true.
Your strength, Your goodness, Your tender care -
Such love - how can it be?
Dear Lord above, You’re always there,
And You’re everything to me.
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and all thy soul,
and with all thy mind"
(Matt. 22:37)
