Today is Valentines Day and what a perfect day to find love, right? Valentine's day is a day where everyone is so concerned with romance. Honestly, today I found love, but not in a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates or a fancy dinner. I spent the beginning of my day spending time with a girl friend of mine. We shared lunch and enjoyed eachother's presence in our lives by focusing on who really has created and formed our relationship, God. I love getting lunch with her because we always share a prayer together before we begin eating. At first this was really awkward for me, because I was so concerned about what other people may think of us. You know, like weird religious people. As we were praying today, two girls at a table next to us began giggling in awkward confusion. It was then that I realized it's not me who it is awkward about praying publicly. It is others that omit to recognize the presence of God in their lives that feel awkward to witness the beauty of people praying before them. I felt beautifully unique to allow others to witness publicly that I love God.
As I am trying to reflect on today about God's presence in my life, I would definately have to say he showed his face in the relationships I have with others. Since it is Valentine's Day, it was an excuse to let others in my life know how much I love them! I wrote my boyfriend a love letter and it reminded me of the simple joy of having a companion like him in my life. I honestly believe that it is such a blessing that God has allowed us to fall in love. Love is a gift from God. I would like to take a minute to thank Him for blessing me with all those who love me. I especially want to thank God for the love He has for me. That is it. On Valentine's Day, love is gift from God and can be found in many many ways, not just a box of chocolates.
God has definately presented Himself to me through my boyfriend in numerous ways. Today on Valentine's Day, we spent the day playing in the snow, which might I say is another beautiful gift from God. I mean not only is snow a beautiful phenomina that falls from the sky and creates a white blanket covering the earth; it is also so much fun to play in!! We spent the day throwing snowballs at eachother, making snow angels, attempting to build an igloo, creating a snowman of our own, tackling eachother in the snow, kissing eachother in the snow, and sharing our smiles because of the blessing of this day together. My boyfriend's love for me is an absolute presence of God in my life and I am more than grateful for all that our love has given me.
Happy Valentine's Day :) Enjoy the Love that you have been blessed with today.
