Today is February 14, 2010 – Valentine's day. It's a day that once held SUCH great meaning for me — sweetheart's day.
I remember the angst of NOT having a boyfriend on Valentine's day. Oh, the agony that no one would give me a cute stuffed animal and a box of candy. As I grew older the stuffed animal turned to roses and the box candy …. well, it stayed the same. But the angst was still there. I NEEDED to have a boyfriend on Valentine's day, if ONLY for that one day.
It is the day made for sweethearts. The day for love. The day of hearts.
Oh, if only I'd known what the Lord had in store for me. Maybe I would have waited more patiently. Maybe those solitary Valentine's days wouldn't have seemed so lonely.
If only I could have looked ahead to see the man who would come into my life, maybe Valentine's day would have been like a ‘coming attractions' instead of all whine-fest.
I've had my sweetheart for a lot of years now. He's the love of my life on February 14 and all the other days of the year. When I look at all the cards, the candy, the roses and those cute stuffed animals, I remember a girl who so desired to have a ‘boyfriend' on Valentine's day — and she got her wish.
Happy Valentine's day (and if you're still waiting on your ‘boyfriend' consider this season your ‘coming attractions')
Happy Valentines Day to you and yours…..still celebrating with my “boyfriend” too…after all these years!
Loved this! My prayer is that I would be so content with Jesus and love out of the love He has loved me with. What a tongue twister. But really. I bought Rod a key lime pie for V-day and he paid for me a pair of grey boots off of ebay. I had searched the mall over for a pair of flat grey boots to no avail. Why didn’t I think ebay? It was a good day.
enough!
Sorry for the rambling! =)
Mary,
I just wanted to tell you that it was so good to meet you last Wednesday at Beth Moore’s book signing. It encouraged Corrie so much to see you and be reminded that her blog ministers to people. I posted some pics from that day on her blog and added one of you and her!
