All week there has been a general titter of excitement about Valentine's Day amongst my brood. Drew got two cute little stuffed animals for his girlfriend, and Kiel got all sorts of stuff for his girlfriend from a big heart shaped pink pillow to a cuddly soft pink blanket. Cards crossed in the mail between North Carolina and Rochester, Lake George and Saratoga Springs. Chocolate appeared and disappeared. There were even beautiful roses!
Though I don't have that "special someone" at this juncture of my life, I am blessed to have sons who remember me along with their own special someone. How lovely to set their cards on the top of the entertainment center, a daily reminder of how lucky I am. How good it feels to send cards to children and grandchildren, to know I am connected and free to love them dearly.
On top of that, the kids at church played Jesus Loves Me on the handchimes, and sang along, accompanied by piano and flute. They were adorable, their eyes shining with happiness, their exuberance in ringing abundantly clear. Many people commented on their rendition with joy, hoping they will do more and often. Yes, we will. We will exclaim our love through our actions, and proclaim the love of God through our words. That's the best Valentine in the world.
