As think about Valentines Day and the true meaning of LOVE, I am brought back to the verses I chose to be read at my Wedding and the Bible.
Recently attending a service, or maybe even something my child shared with me they had learned at church, it was suggested to read the verses I listed below but when the word LOVE was, insert your name.
It really puts a new meaning on if I or YOU really know what true love is. To be more Christ like in my thinking, I have decided to evaluate how I stand with my walk with LOVE. By putting my name in this verse. Because I firmly believe in the verse that start this out, "But have not love, I gain nothing."
Also with this think about are you truely loving the ones you should be showing this TRUE love to. For me it is easier with the kids but harder with the husband, Easier with when my children were younger but harder when they push the limits.
1 Corinthians 13 3-7
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
(Laura) is patient, (Laura) is kind.
(Laura) does not envy, (Laura) does not boast,
(Laura) is not proud.
(Laura) is not rude, (Laura) is not self-seeking,
(Laura) is not easily angered, (Laura) keeps no record of wrongs.
(Laura) does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
(Laura) always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
What I am going to try to take from this, is before responding to the people I LOVE, I will first evaluate if I am responding like above.

Pondering.
Today has been a day of reflection. A struggle of a day really but ended on a good note.
New Goals: Be thrifty with my $ by price matching and coupon. Got my coupons cut and ready. : ) Plan to get them organized soon. found several helpful sites. www.cellfire.com and of course www.kroger.com
Gardening, going to be focus on gardening, start a compost.

Also read the bible throughout the day and came to a few verses,
James 1;5 If any one of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who give generously to all without finding fault.
From this I would like to focus on being less critical and lifting my husband and children up. Focus on me more when it comes to my feelings of anxiety and discontent.
James 1:5 Perserverance must finish its work so that you be mature and complete not lackign in anything.
From this one I reflected on the importance of finishing what you start and not giving up with knowing in the end it will build you up. Also passing this on to your children. Finish what you start and buck up and don't give up.
Proverbs 24:26 An honest answer is liek a kiss on the lips
this spoke to me as I enjoying being around people who are honest. Who tell you what you are thinking but also allow you to think freely as well. nothing causing me more anxiety that someone whom you can not trust.
