Loving and Being Loved
/
Last year on Valentines Day, I ran to Kroger to pick up a few needed items. As I got out of my car in the parking lot and walked across the lot to enter the store, I saw a man leaving, carrying a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers! For some reason, it moved me to tears. Here was a middle-aged, short, stocky guy...not handsome at all....not romantic looking or attractive in any way. And yet, I realized he was incredibly blessed because he LOVES someone.
Maybe she's a wife, a sweetheart, a daughter, a mother...but he has SOMEONE to love.
And maybe she loves HIM in return!
Love is a gift...both sides of love -- loving and being loved.
If you love someone today...let him/her know! If you are loved by someone today...be thankful!
Above all, dear friend, know that you are loved by your God...be thankful and let HIM know!
We love because He first loved us! 1 John 4:19
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
