Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus and His beauty. 2-14-2016 Perryton, Texas.
A last minute glimpse of the sun setting finished my good day. This valentine day has made me happy. I saw so many different ones buying live flowers for their special ones when I went to the grocery store this evening. The smiles on their faces made me recognize the importance a loved one meant to them. I had to smile too at the love pouring from those hearts. The stores floral nursery was greatly expanded this year, I didn’t know why, but it seemed as if everyone was buying flowers. I never saw much candy floating around. I was especially impressed when I saw young boys carrying out big bouquets making every step fast and joyful. I wanted to go and hug them for their sweetness to their girl friends. I, myself was thinking of the many times my husband gave me flowers or candy for valentine day. Those are times that will never be forgotten. I don’t believe a man ever loved his wife more than mine loved me. Yet I know he was not perfect. I thank God for the 63 years I had with my husband.
Then there were the sad times during the day when I felt so guilty for not showing more love to those whom are still with me now. Most are many miles away, but I could show more love if I tried. Too many are the excuses that do nothing but make us cry. One of my greatest desires is to be more open with my love to others. I know if a dog bites you its hard to give them a pat and say, “I love you,” but I believe that is what God told us to do. Our loved ones are not our enemies. They are our heartbeat. If God told us to love our enemies, how much more are we suppose to love those that love us, even though they don’t always act like it? None of us can ever lose that love once its made. We just have to fight and hurt in every way possible trying to show we are right and they are wrong. “God forbid.” That is a sin that has been around forever, and will remain until we are taken out of these old mortal bodies and transported to heaven. Can anyone imagine the feeling of having no more anger or vengeance against anyone who has wronged us. What a wonderful place heaven must be. I know we all have to uphold our respectable places in life. We cannot be slammed against disgraceful, untruthful, walls like mud balls, but neither can we stop that kind of hatred by removing ourselves from their sight. We must each and everyone of us pray daily for a miracle of forgiveness, and forgetfulness, for ourselves and for others. A miracle it must be, because we are still in the flesh and the flesh is weak. “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41.
God Bless
