I intended to post this yesterday, but with everything going on between school and Mandy's grandfather, I couldn't focus enough to write. But, now that the dust has settled a little, I want to mention this...
Valentine's Day has meant a lot of different things for me over the years. At first it was a reminder of my single status. Then it became an excuse to buy stuff for the current girlfriend. Finally, it was a chance to show my wife just how much I love her. But I think the thing that is most important about Valentine's Day happened 32 years ago.
On February 14, 1979, Kevin and Debbie Lovelace married. There were some who were excited about it, some who weren't sure, but most importantly, there was a God who had His hand on this young couple and had a plan for them.
Seven years later, Kevin and Debbie had a daughter. They taught her above all else to love the Lord, and raised her with a tender heart for others. She grew in knowledge, she grew in love, and she grew in favor with the Lord. That little girl grew up to be an amazing, beautiful woman, and she has been the greatest blessing God could ever give me on this earth.
"When God made you, he must have been thinking about me."
Happy Valentine's Day Mandy, and Happy Anniversary Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Debbie.
Keep Soaring,
B
