Happy Valentine's Day!

Well...this is the first time in 14 years that Dee and I have ever been apart on Valentine's Day. He called last night and his "care package" arrived. The girls each sent him a card, and I sent him two...plus a little hedgehog that says "MISS U". In the package was snacks, such as oreos, pringles, french onion dip, homemade trail mix, bottle of water and energy drink mix packets. We also put in 20 Glow Sticks so the "guys" can act like "kids" out in the middle of nowhere...in the dark. It's our Valentine gift to all his unit. Kinda cheesy...but I thought they'd still have fun.
I thought Dee would be bored but he is either in class, on the range, or in meetings until around 8 or 9 pm...and starts at 5:30 am most days. So they haven't even watched a movie. They don't get the weekend off either. Still going wide open every day.
I am trying to look at today as just another day.....a "commercial" day...created by stores to make money. We don't need a special day to say "I LOVE YOU". Every day should be Valentine's Day if you have someone special in our life. It's not about a grand presentation of love that matters once a year....what matters is the daily little things you do for each other. When Dee gets up early to give me my medicine...he's saying "I love you". When he helps do laundry, he is saying "I love you!" When he goes to pick up the girls from practices because I don't feel good, he's saying "I love you." I am blessed to have him in my life. I hope I show him love on a daily basis as well.

Happy Valentine's Day sweetheart. Wherever you are at the moment...know I'm thinking about you and sending my prayers for your safe return. I love you.

Hope the rest of you enjoy the day. If you are single, rejoice in where you are right now. Don't be depressed. You are where God wants you right now. If he wanted you in a relationship, he would have lead you to that person. Just live for HIM and let Jesus be your Valentine. It's not about us...it's about HIM!
