Today is..

Today is a day where:

Greeting cards will be bought and placed out on the table…

Valentines will be given out at schools across the United States …

Flowers will be purchased…

Arizona will celebrate its 102nd birthday  – How fun to live in a state that shares Valentine’s day and is supposed to be 85 degrees today.  Please don’t think badly of us if you are having terrible weather – we will be having our challenging weather in a few months.

Jeff brought me home these beauties from Whole Foods last night – the tuxedo one is in my tummy but I’m trying to pace myself and feel they are a good choice of a dessert (chocolate and Strawberries) – yum  –  Yes, it was as good as it looks.

I surprised him with a coffee themed gift.  Jeff has a friendship with our local Starbucks and liked his cup, gift card and caramel candies.

BUT

This is also the day the Lord has made – Let us be glad and rejoice in it.  I know there are some years where this day – this  snapshot of time – doesn’t always present itself in a way we would like.  I hope the following verse brings you a hug from God.

I AM the Lord your God.

I AM holding your right hand.

and…

I TELL YOU (insert your name), “Don’t be afraid.

I WILL help you.

Isaiah 41.13
