Valentines Day Memory..
I guess for me the best memory I have of Valentines Day, is one that most people would never consider.. I was in the midst of a horrible divorce and I and 2 daughters had NO WHERE to go. Some very dear friends from church offered their home and "booted" one of their children from their own room, to give us a place to stay. That year Valentines Day was quickly approaching and I offered to watch all the kids while they went out. They would have nothing of it. They INSISTED on staying home with me and ALL the kids and having a night in.

It sounds like you have some very good friends. I love that they wanted to be with you during such a rough transition.
I love that! How fulfilling it must have been for them as well to know how secure their own love is.
Beautiful post! It is so very true that sometimes the thoughtfulness and generosity of friends, family and even strangers makes you realize how very lucky we are to have the love of the Lord, for through him we make the world a better place. Thank you so much for your beautiful comment you left on my blog.
Many Blessings,
Deanna
Truly some very good friends as you are to them. ;)
Awesome!~
What wonderful friends and how touching that in the midst of such turmoil, you have found such a lovely memory! Very nice post!
Thank you all for the kind words....
Hi! I'm just popping by for the blog hop, and I was very moved by your post. What wonderful friends you have! Thanks for sharing this memory with us.
You are so right! Valentine's Day means so much more than just the love we associate with romance. The ULTIMATE love story is that of our Heavenly Father sending His son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us. It sounds like the couple that took you in did a great job of demonstrating that love!
