Happy Valentine's Day

We wish you lots of love this happy hearts day.
And not just the sentimental flowers and romantic dinner kind (although they are nice too).

Since college, God has challenged me to really show love to others during this holiday. It didn't originate as a "Hallmark holiday" and any reminder we have to show love should be accepted.

We sent Valentine's to loved ones and are ready for our weekend adventure with the youth group. We are praying for couples going through trials and loving on as many children as we can. All of these small things really add up to a lot of love. And that is what this life is all about.

We encourage you to be a light and love to someone this Valentine's weekend.
If you need a few suggestions on how to do this - - you could pray that:
the long drive to and from with the teenagers and is safe and uneventful
the leaders would stay healthy (some are already not coming due to illness)
the leaders would able to keep up with the kids (we are not spring chickens)
the Lord would do a wondrous miracle in their hearts
