HAPPY VALENTINE'S WEEK !

Love is patient and kind:

love does not envy or boast;

it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way;

it is not irritable or resentful;

it does not rejoice in wrongdoing.

Love bears all things, hopes all

things, endures all things...

so now faith, hope and love

abide, these three; but the

greatest of these is Love.

--- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

I hope everyone is having a loving day

and if you are alone, remember we

are truly never alone as long as we

have God in our heart.

(And we all do, so you cannot be alone.)

Today I am going to the movies

to see Gnomeo and Juliet with a friend.

It looks so darling and fun...hope they

have a happy ending though!

This heart pin is available in

my Etsy shop.

 A handmade Valentine card from

my dear friend Marie.

This is a meditation from a

Unity booklet titled "The

 Healing Aspect of Change". 

I thought it would be nice to

 do this always.  As Mahatma

 Gandhi said " Be the change

 you wish to see in the world".

I hope you enjoy it.

As I meet others today, dear

God, let me look at each one

with eyes of love.  Let me listen

with ears of love, speak with a

voice of love, and touch with

hands of love.

Grant me the grace, dear God,

to embrace all people with

understanding, patience and

tolerance.  Through the changes

wrought by time and circumstance,

let me see the Christ in every

face and hear the Christ in every

voice.

May I know when to speak and

when to keep silent.  May I freely

express my divine heritage as Your

child in the truest manner possible,

and may I allow others the same

freedom.

Let my faith be strong in every

circumstance, and when my faith

seems to waver, uphold me with thy

gracious, loving spirit.

Let me be an example of Your wisdom

in all that I think, say and do.  May my

thoughts create the wonder of Your

world, my words demonstrate my love

for You, and my actions bring glory

and honor to Your name.

I thank You, dear God, for all the

wonderful people who fill my world,

who share in this marvelous experience

of life.  May I be worthy of their love,

and may I reflect only Your light,

Your life, and Your love to them.

Amen.

May you have a week

 filled with much Love

 and perfect health.

I did want to share this fuji apple I had the other day. It had a red stripe down one side that looked like it had been stenciled on......very unusual.

Also, Cheryl and I are going to see the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" this afternoon...hope its good. And I took Pansy to the vet this morning and she does have an abscess that they will drain today. I will pick her up tomorrow morning, but I am sure I will leave a couple of hundred dollars there.....sigh....oh well, as long as my poor little baby girl is ok! :o)

HAVE A GRACE-FILLED DAY!
