HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Our quartet sang for a Valentine’s luncheon yesterday and of course the theme was LOVE. What was fun was singing a couple of cute love songs getting the audience fully involved. The theme then turned to what God’s Love actually looks like and songs which proclaim this Love.

The day provided us with an abundant snowfall that was accompanied with a strong wind. As I spend the later afternoon at our church counseling and then Celebrate Recovery I found that when I left there were big snow drifts in the parking lot. My little Toyota Prius is stuck in the mist of one of them as I write this! I smile now thinking about this. I should have driven my pickup which is 4-wheel drive, but that thought was only one of those after-thoughts which I’m much better at having. I’ll get it today I know. Last night in the wind was just not the right time. Others at CR gave me a ride home who had the smarts to drive their 4-wheel vehicle!

The love of God is so amazing and miraculous. Man’s love (as man demonstrates it without God’s influence and morality) is so selfish and shallow. As I go into this day I rejoice. Knowing how God has brought so much love into my life through my wife, my kids and grandkids and the host of friends He has provided. Giving me purpose using the past I dreaded is the best miracle of Love. What a WONDERFUL GOD we get to serve!
