Valentine's gratitude


I've found a love greater than life itself
I've found a hope stronger and nothing compares
I once was lost now I'm alive in You!

We love because He first loved us.


So, so much to be thankful for on this Valentine's Day.

251. The amazing, incredible, awesome way God worked out all the details for me and Paul to sublet our apartment and move into our new duplex.
252. Our duplex, with its yard. and attic. and doorbell. and windows. and space. and everything about it that makes us so excited to live here :)
253. The generosity of several wonderful people from church who donated furniture to the couple from Spain who sublet our apartment.
254. Friends who gave up their evening to help us move.
255. A birthday dinner for a friend.
256. The opportunity to serve coffee with coworkers at a benefit concert for a family in need.
257. A movie night with friends.
258. Discovering another kindred spirit.
259. A beautiful afternoon, and time spent under a tree reading through I John.
260. Spending Valentine's evening with girls from church, enjoying a wonderful meal cooked by one of the elders and remembering that "this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." (1 John 4:10)
