As we cleaned up, we agreed this was one of our best Valentine’s Days. By turning our attention from ourselves, we became vessels to demonstrate the love of God in a practical way to others. There was nothing particularly heroic about this event. We didn’t solve the problems of the world. We simply gave away a small amount of time and material resources to surprise and delight others. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/three-words-for-a-lifetime-love-8207 2009-02-19T10:15:23-05:00 With Valentine's Day coming, I got to thinking about one of the greatest days of my life. It was the day my honey committed her life to me at our wedding. Now the pastor who married us actually apologized to me before we left the church that night. Not for marrying us, but for being too busy to give us marriage counseling. He said, "You know, the pastor who married us did the same thing. But just before we left for our honeymoon, he gave me three words of counseling. I’m going to give them to you. Beginning tonight and every day, put her first.” That pretty much says it. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Proof-You-Are-Loved-5056 2008-08-06T16:18:22-05:00 However others may have treated you, however you may think God feels about you, God loves you. So much that He sent His one and only Son all the way from heaven to die an awful death for you on a rugged cross. It was the only way you could have every wrong thing you've ever done forgiven by God. Sin has to be paid for with a death penalty. God's love for you is so great that He sacrificed the only One who could die in your place - His sinless Son, Jesus. So when you open your heart to Jesus, you are opening your heart to the greatest love in the universe. http://70030.netministry.com/articles_view.asp?articleid=32529&columnid=3844 2008-02-25T16:36:10-05:00 How to Look for the Love of a Lifetime Part IV!
