I've been away from making an entry for a long time... but I've been closer than you might think. I've read every entry the rest of you have made. I've viewed your wonderful pictures, I've prayed with you through heartache and sickness and the every day needs of life, and rejoiced with you through the joys and victories. I feel close to every one of you, even though my presence has been hidden from your sight. Kind of like our Heavenly Father, huh? Not being able to see Him can sometimes make us think that He's not that close... but He is... just as He promised! After celebrating another Resurrection Sunday this past weekend, I was again reminded that our God keeps every promise He makes. I am looking forward to the very best promise of all 'I WILL RETURN' Bless His name!

My dear husband gave me my Valentine gift this evening. He got 10 crisp new $10 bills and made two paper roses of them. He put them in a small valentine vase with some other greenery and silk flowers. Sometimes his creativity scares me.
He also gave me a red velveteen heart box of candy... not much candy in it (thank the Lord!), but he knew I'd love the box
