Happy Belated Valentines

The kids are getting craftier every year. We had an array of different projects to decorate the house for valentines. Most of the projects included stickers and markers, but we did get these fun mailboxes to put valentine cards in. I'm still finding random heart stickers stuck to the carpets. We focused our "love" conversations around 1John 4:19 " We love because he first loved us." So a month after the fact, hope you know you are loved by our Creator and were able to love others because of it. Addie busy with one of many sticker projects. This literally enteratained her for hours. Our projects along with some verses were all displayed on a ribbon with mini clothes pins on the wall behind Addie.....oh wait, they are still up today. The beautiful mailboxes. Hopefully next year Kai will be able to write his own little notes to Eli and Addie (with a little help). Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. (1 Cor 13 middle section MSG)
