We had a light rain falling yesterday. This is making mush of the snow. After a night of freezing temperatures, there was a nice ice rink out there this morning. Today, more rain. After my last fall, I'm now scared to step on anything that even looks wet!
Happy anniversary to Anita and Tom. You will see her beautiful ring on her blog. Tom you are so precious!! What a wonderful gift!

Valentine's Day - the message of love
Mark 12:33 "And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
What a great blessing to know the Love of God. That we have so great a privilege to love the Creator of all things...the almighty and powerful God that has the world and the universe in His hands! That we can walk with Him!! And be His child!
But, how do we love one another. How do we love our neighbor as ourselves? -- We step back from sin. We become overcomers. We become a witness of Jesus, for those we love and for those in our lives--whether friend, neighbor, or all that we meet. We give up of ourselves--the little pleasures that would lead another down the road to sin. We give up tears from the injustices we are inflicted with so that another will know the love of God. We give up our treasures so that the greater good will be done.
Today, go forth and love your God, He is awesome and mighty, and may God's love be with you.

A Child's Love
What can be more precious than the love of a child. What a great gift to be a parent and have that wonderful opportunity to be able to see through the eyes of your child!
I ran across some cards Victoria and Tim made when they were little.
Isn't it wonderful to be able to see your life through the eyes of a child!!!
Then comes the time you have to watch out for kids with cameras!! And then the card that follows that!!
What Mother could ever forget the Mother's Day card full of songs!
Don't ever make faces at a boy with a camera!! What chuckles he had making his card on the computer!!
How precious is it when the children take the
time to care for each other!!
The Lord knew the heart of a child and he told us to have a heart like them.
Matthew 18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!"
God be with you. Take care of your children.
