And speaking of love songs, my heart can\u2019t help but do a little two-step when I hear Tom Jones croon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Love is in the air, everywhere I look around\u2026 Love is in the air, every sight and every sound\u2026&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I know Tom was likely singing about some smitten lovebirds, but humor me for a second!&nbsp; What if we sang those lyrics to the Lover of our souls? Because, truly, every sight and every sound declares His love! From the whisper of the trees to the roar of the waves, from the rising of the sun to its setting &#8212; it&#8217;s all His love song to us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this month of love, let\u2019s shift the focus from roses and romance to real love &#8212; the kind that\u2019s for everyone. No plus-one required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too often, we get caught up thinking love is only for couples but let me tell you &#8212; love isn\u2019t limited to candlelit dinners and heart-shaped chocolates. Love is meant to be given freely to everyone we encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc96 A smile at a stranger? That\u2019s love.<br>\ud83d\udc96 Holding the door open? Love.<br>\ud83d\udc96 Texting a friend just to say, \u201cThinking of you\u201d? Love.<br>\ud83d\udc96 Giving someone the last slice of pizza when you really wanted it? Now that\u2019s true sacrificial love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love is as simple as seeing people &#8212; really seeing them &#8212; and making them feel valued. What if we all made a conscious effort this month to spread love wherever we go? To look people in the eye and silently say, <em>\u201cI see you, and you matter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while we\u2019re at it, let\u2019s put it in writing. Send a love note (or at least a heartfelt text) to the people who have walked beside us &#8212; who inspire us, pray for us, laugh with us, cry with us, and remind us we are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s make February more than just a Valentine\u2019s Day affair.&nbsp; Let\u2019s make it a love revolution! And let me start by saying I love YOU &#8212; my dear friends and family. You bring light to my world, joy to my heart, and countless reasons to be grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May you know the overwhelming, never-ending, boundless love of God &#8212; not just this month, but always. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGod&#8217;s love is so great that it gives people the power to love others.\u201d&nbsp;1 John 4:19<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f Love is in the Air &#8212; So Let\u2019s Breathe It In! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f Ah, February &#8212; when store shelves explode with pink and red, the floral businesses boom, and the airwaves are drenched in love songs.
