Tomorrow is Valentine's Day -- one of my most favorite holidays. I remember being in grade school and getting those sweet, little valentines. What a wonderful feeling! Okay, okay I am a hopeless romantic. It's a good thing I married one.
Tomorrow will be our 16th wedding anniversary. We got married in a little chapel (I was working for a church at the time.) with all our close friends and family. My then six-year-old son, Zachary, walked me down the aisle and stood beside us while we took our vows. After we said our vows, my sweet husband turned to Zachary and pledged his love to him, told him he could never replace his father, but he would always take care of him and would always treat him as his own. What woman doesn't go weak in the knees watching her man with her child? He has always held true to that pledge too. Even after Jacob was born he's never showed a difference in them. Even now, with things as strained as they are, he continues to support both of them. What a lucky woman I am.
Oh, Lord Jesus thank you for my blessings. Thank you for placing the most loving man in my life. Thank you for the difficulties we've faced both in the past and even now, because they have made us more dependent on you. Most importantly, thank you Jesus for being my ultimate valentine.

Happy Valentine's Day to you! I enjoyed reading your sweet blog today. I remember getting Valentine cards too and really "studying" the ones from the boys.... to see if they "really" liked me. LOL
