Happy February — Love is in the Air!
My heart be still as I croon over Tom Jones singing “Love is in the air. Love is everywhere I look around! Love is in the air every sight and every sound. And I don’t know if I’m being foolish. I don’t know if I’m being wise, but it’s something that I must believe in. And it’s there when I look in your eyes. Love is in the air, in the whisper of the trees. Love is in the air in the thunder of the sea. And I don’t know if I’m just dreaming. I don’t know if I feel safe, but it’s something that I must believe in and it’s there when I call out your name. Love is in the air Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun. Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done. And I don’t know if you are illusion. Don’t know if I see truth, but you are something that I must believe in, and you are there when I reach out for you. Love is in the air…….”
I know those words were written for a lover, but they could be talking about the Lover of ALL LOVERS, so I’m singing it to THE LOVER of my soul. Love is in the air – every sight and every sound, the whisper of the trees, the thunder of the sea, the rising of the sun, when the day is done – IT ALL speaks His beautiful, wonderful, indescribable name – the precious name of Jesus – truly the Lover of all Lovers. And to know that love is to share that love.

Of course this month is dedicated to lovers and romantic relationships. But why don’t we let February be LOVE IS IN THE AIR for all those around us?
Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily routines, we forget to let those close to us know how much we love and appreciate them. There’s nothing more important than letting people know how much they mean to us.
Why not let this be a LOVE month with everyone we encounter? Love is as simple as smiling at someone walking toward us, someone in front or behind us in the checkout line or someone standing next to us in an elevator. Sounds innocent enough, but what we really can be doing is secretly telling them “I love you” with that smile. And, if they smile back at us, let’s imagine them saying “I love you” back to us. That silent exchange may cause feelings to emerge that could transform their day AND our day.
So, since February is the month for love, how about we make a commitment to “give our love away” – maybe in a love letter to those people in our life who inspire us, support us, assist us, feed us, nurture us, care for us, love us, pray for us, protect us, laugh with us and cry with us. They have shared the magnificent journey of our life with us. Let’s purpose to pour on the love this month….and let me start by saying “I LOVE YOU…..my FB friends and family. You mean the world to me! You make my world a better place. You put a smile on my face and you give me so many joys! May you know God’s love in tangible and beautiful ways….not just this month, but ALWAYS!”
