Romance

I've never really understood Valentine's Day. It has always seemed strange to me that you're supposed to show people you love them by buying teddy bears, flowers, chocolates, and other such things- but just on February 14th. I mean if you really think about it, does it make sense to you??
Despite the absurdity of what today stands for, I woke up and was truly romanced- I mean, completely swept off my feet! There is this tree outside my window that is always leaning over my patio. The past few months it has been shedding its leaves all over the place. But this morning was different! I looked out my window and small white flowers were everywhere- on my deck, on my table and chairs, on my doorstep, down the stairs, and all the way along the sidewalk to my car.

God is the ultimate romancer! He knows me and knows how to take my breath away.
Look around today- God is ready and willing to romance you, too.

  1. Love this post. It sounds like you were in my head on Valentine's Day, with the snow on the trees outside I felt was God's romancing me. Ever read the book "God thinks you are wonderful" by Max Lucado? If not- check it out. It's so simple and meant for kids but so powerful. :)
