My Funny Valentine

Greetings Gail-Friends!  Today is the day to express your feelings for all of those you love.  Well, I love y'all and I'm thankful for each one of you who stop by here every week.  Today, I hope you share your love and feel loved, especially that you feel and know our Heavenly Father's love for you.

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband because he shows his love every day, not just once a year.


I woke up this morning to a big surprise! My sweet husband said, "I love you! Happy Valentines Day! I got you something really special this year."

I looked around and saw nothing.  Hmmm....

Jem took me by the hand, and said, "You know how scared you are of frogs?"

Still foggy, I mumbled, "Yeah...?"

"Well, I got you something that will save you from all the frogs in the yard."

"A dog?"

 "No."

"A cat?"

"No."

"A lizard?  No...tell me you didn't get me a lizard.  Tell me you didn't get that big iguana lizard from the neighbor next door."  This is what I was imagining:

"No...let me show you."  He took my hand, and led me out on to the patio.  This is who greeted me:

Isn't he the cutest?  I named him Patty O' Frog because I found him there.  I gave my sweet husband a big old kiss!!!   I loved the flowers and the card ... and the frog .....but most of all I love my romantic husband who makes me laugh every day.  I'm so blessed.

I saw this recently and agree with it (but I still love getting flowers).

We do all of these things for each other, and I believe that's what love does.  It's also what keeps love fresh and alive.

Love and blessings to you all.

Valentine's Day

Was your sweetie good to you this year? Mine was...and has been for the past 4 wonderful years.

My husband Jem is a real "gem" when it comes to romance. Even before the big day, he bought me a dozen long-stemmed roses. Then, on the morning of the holiday, he brought me breakfast me in bed, along with the Sunday morning newspaper and some wonderful sugar-free chocolates with a very romantic card. We spent a lovely morning and afternoon together, then went for a drive along the river, followed by a great dinner. What a wonderful, bliss-full romantic day. I felt so loved and pampered - like a princess - which is what he calls me.

Before you start to hate me, consider that it hasn't always been this way. Before I married Jem, I compared marriage to having your teeth drilled without Novocaine! I didn't know it could be good, but God smiled on me when he sent me Jem, my "gem". I'd never known devoted, constant, up-lifting, kind and respectful love. His kind of love just melts my heart and inspires me to show it to others. Jem's love is like God's love. It is always there, never changing, constant, strong, unselfish, and true.

So, tell me about your Valentine's Day. Was it good, or not so much? Do you wish your husband was more romantic? Did he forget? Believe me, I've had some bad ones, too!

Or maybe you could share some tips on leading your husband to be more romantic...like the lady who hung red hearts in every room the week prior to Valentine's Day to give her husband the hint. Sometimes you have to get creative, right?

Here's your chance to brag or vent...
