Kisses — Sweeter than Wine — Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
Bring on the Romance with Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get our love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
Still Loving in the Love Month?
In this social media era, there’s a lot of pressure on couples to pull out all the stops when “the question” is about to be popped — from airplanes with tails that read: “Marry Me, Olivia” to a throng of people singing and dancing in the street to help the proposer ask the big question.…
The Pursuit of God
Pursue: to follow, run after, chase someone or something to catch them.I have five grandsons; one is married and the remaining four have darling girlfriends. Being a romantic at heart, I thoroughly enjoy watching these guys pursue these girls. I loved the sweet Christmas gifts they each carefully chose for their “girl”. And I loved…
I Love a Good Love Story
I must start this beautiful month of God’s great love with a love story. I admit it. I’m a hopeless romantic so I love hearing people’s love stories. In fact, that’s one of my “asks”, not just for table-talk, but I sincerely love hearing how couples met, fell in love and got married. Maybe I’m…
He is Hovering Over Us
While in Mexico in March, it just so happened that an elaborate Lebanese wedding on the hotel’s grounds was taking place. I found myself caught up in it all as though I were an invited guest, but no, I was actually an inquisitive spy perched high above it all on a staircase. My romance-and-fairy-tale-loving-self was…
The Allure of Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get your love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
I Love a Good Love Story
One of our favorite movies was the blockbuster, “Love Story”, with Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw! While I love a good on-screen love-story movie, there is nothing like real life ones. The first chapter of my own love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad…
Choose Life
What helps me pass the time when I’m traveling or on a treadmill or elliptical equipment, is listening to audio books. Since I’m a “romantic” at heart, I enjoy listening to Karen Kingsbury’s Christian inspirational books of intrigue, a tinge of romance and happy endings. The story-line of a recent one I listened to, included…
Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow
My heart was very tender toward God, even as a young child — so much so, that whenever a missionary came to our church and talked about the missions work they were doing, I wanted to join them. At the end of the service, when a plea would go out to those who would be…
