Loveday Giveaway - Time's Up!


Happy Valentine's!

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35

First things first - and then we'll get to the top love song of the day.
The winner of the Created to be His Helpmeet book is: CARLA!
as chosen by the random number generator (http://www.random.org/). E-mail me at mrs8troop@sbcglobal.net to claim your prize! Congratulations!

And now, Folks. You've been waiting all week to see my #1 love song. And here it is:
(and I apologize ahead of time for the immodest outfit on Martina. I can't fix everything!)
#1 I love you - by Martina McBride




You were prepared for corny, right? I'm such a sucker for a good love song.

If you've been following this week, we've had some discussion on the Lord of Love, as well. And since I'm all about keepin' it real, I'm going to remind all of us that no one person can fulfill every hole in our hearts.

I have an amazing husband who loves God, loves me, loves our children, and lays down his life everyday for us. He works hard, has no "life of his own", helps with dinner and baths and bedtime. He plays basketball with the kids, reads stories, helps with homework. And he's handsome, too. In fact after 13 years my heart still skips a beat when he walks in the room.

But the truth is, there would still be a hole in my heart without my Savior, Jesus Christ.





"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." Col. 1:26-28

THANKS FOR JOINING IN in our special Valentine's Loveday Giveaway! It's been fun! Crazy Daisy and I have had a great time sharing our songs and prizes with you. Be sure to check over there this morning to see her winners and her #1 song.

So love on your Valentine. And give praise to our Creator for His awesome love that gives us eternal life and hope in this life. Because of Him, we can truly LOVE!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FRIEND! This has been so much fun. I love your post and your songs are wonderful! Thanks so much for your patient and encouraging friendship. You are such an incredible blessing to me and you challenge me to be a better mom and wife. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be.... I could fly higher than an eagle.... if you are the wind beneath my wings.... You raise me up, (that was said with very thick vibrato)so I can stand on mountains.....You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.........I am strong, when I am on your shoulders.....You raise me up... To more than I can be. Love you friend! I just wish you could have heard me sing all that in person (because that is what I do, ya know, I sing it as I write it),... it would have been so much more beautiful.... ha! Have a Blessed Day!
