On this day of love, Valentine's Day...I am finding that I can't stop thinking about love! I am preparing for a fun-filled night at home with my sweet husband and our precious, yet silly children. I plan on making heart shaped hamburgers and some other yummy treats that my brain has not yet thought of. We are going to have a movie night where we move all the furniture in the living room so everyone can have a comfy spot on the floor! And maybe we will even turn some fun music on to dance around the kitchen a little bit too! On a side note...I love it when my husband puts a song on and makes me dance with him! Most of the time while in that moment...I think, "you are so goofy, Matt Edmonds"! But when I look back, I think "I am one lucky girl to get to share life with that man"! Any who...I am so excited and I just know that tonight will be a lot of fun. As I am being inspired to make this a night a little more special than every other night I am thinking...what do I really want my family to get from this night? Am I wanting them to know that I am a super cool mom that is creative enough to use a cookie cutter to shape ground beef? Do I want them to feel that they are loved and this is just a special day to focus on our family? Well, I am sure that they will get these feelings from my actions on this special day but I can't help but to think about what Jesus did for me on Calvary. I mean, THAT is love! To love me enough to die for me...me, a sinner so unworthy of his love. But he did it anyway...because he loves me that much...to know that I don't deserve his love or any of the actions he did for me. In this life...I have been blessed to experience true love with my husband and I have experienced the love of my children and love a mother has for her children and PRAISE THE LORD that I have experienced the love that Jesus has for me. I one lucky, LUCKY girl. So, as I plan for this special night of love at the Edmonds' house...I will make sure that we say how special we are to each other but also to be thankful for our ultimate Valentine, Jesus. No one will ever love us the way that He loves us.
If you are looking for some good "dancing in the kitchen" music...here are a few of our family's favorites right now! Oh..and while you listen to the words think of your relationship with the Lord...it can apply to Him just as it could the loves of your life! Enjoy!
