Happy Valentine’s Day

2/14/09 Love is in the air---or it should be---with every breath you take! Have you shown God’s love to someone today?! Remember there’s a world of hurting people---everyone has a burden or some kind of “baggage,” so let’s be sensitive and extend a “hand” of grace and love to family, friends and beyond. I’m getting a little “preachy” here, aren’t I?? It’s because my experience with my rare cancer, aka Big MAC, has clearly shown me the difference the depth of His love for me and the love from others has made in my life. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) How grateful I am to have a Savior who laid down His life for me. Today, may I lay down my self-centeredness---dying to “self “ in every way, that I might love others better.

  1. I pray too, that my own "selfcenteredness" goes beyond me to the reason that I pray for an answer before I speak to you, Dotsy. Please pray for a clear answer from Him before we speak on 2/15/09 dear friend. May St. Valentine help me in my quest for an answer. M

  2. I'm not sure I will ever get there- gettig rid of selfishness and loving others the way I need to. Today, again, I had to look at myself squarely in the heart and take captive the big lie that it is all about me! I don't believe it, but I sure do live it at times. Lord, forgive me, and thank you for the reminder thru this blog. Love you, W.
