Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! What a fun day it was. I have One Dozen gorgeous red roses drooping luxuriously on the dining room table. I have a vase full of yellow carnations in full bloom on the coffee table. My darling youngster is making a valentine "layer cake" out of heart shaped cookies (baked by Margaret) and pink tinted frosting. It's fun to get little home made messages on construction paper hearts. Even the pets got theirs.
We had the Valentine party at Good News Club today at the elementary school today with cotton candy and little prizes for all who came. Thirteen today!
The story was about guarding your heart, and it was very effective. Convicting for even the teachers! We have an Eye Gate and an Ear Gate, and we must guard them from evil things we could hear or see. Hmmmm.
I read a blip on NPR about a movie coming out which celebrates a life that has been "experienced" versus a life that simply hadn't been "lived." It sounded like the "experience" had everything to do with sin.
Too bad the experience of purity and virtue are so rarely lived. It's far more uncommon and far more desirable. No one is perfect, but to wallow in sinful "pleasures" leads no where but the pit.
There is something about Valentine's Day that triggers thoughts about purity. Pure Love. Wholeness. Heart's Desire.
Let's celebrate that!
