it's been awhile
... since i wrote a full post.
... since i intentionally mused life.
... since i had those conversation hearts.
... since i've spent time actually reflecting on God's will in my life & how i'm fulfilling that or making strides to fulfill that.
... since i've had a valentine.
... since i've spent time with my family.
... since i've spent time with some of my closest friends, uninterrupted, reminsicing about the days of old.
... since i've been truly grateful.
the entire holiday of valentine's baffles me. we celebrate a day of love which many people assume should simply include their romantic love interest. in the grand scheme of things, we could easily say that this hallmark holiday is something that we should in theory practice all year long.
i've never been a v-day hater. even when single, i've enjoyed the vibe which i attribute to pheromones flying through the air. there is simply a breeziness about valentine's day, even when the weather is gray & cloudy.
1 corinthians 13:13
...these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
paul had such a story to tell about how love should permeate every part of our life because we were created to love God & love others. why the turmoil over a day created with love in mind? why the focus on the have nots rather than the haves?
i preach at nobody in particular other than myself. sometimes God must look at my heart & see such selfishness & corrosion. i have much to learn but i'm happy to learn it.
here's hoping your valentine's was a delight. mine sure was.
