Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Some Valentine Fun

Posted on By jennifer

So I am assured that the blizzard is on its way…so far today, the snow has been anything but impressive. So, no snowman – at least, not yet. We did get out – before we get “stuck in” – and found some fun bargains for the house and, so, I have to appreciate the snow for that:)

Since I have no snowmen pictures, I thought I would join Mama Hen for her super cute Valentine meme. So, here goes:

1. Describe your valentine in five words or less:
dependable, faithful, steadfast, handsome and “old-school”:)

2. Best valentine present you ever received? I really have got nothin’ here (we don’t usually give gifts) but I’m going with the stuffed bumble bee?!??!

3. Worst valentine present you ever received? a card

4. Your favorite valentine candy? dark chocolate – hands down!!

5. Would you rather receive chocolate or flowers? Flowers

6. A dress-up candlelight dinner out or a movie snuggling at home? Dinner out – especially the dress-up and candlelight kind!

7. Your favorite romantic movie? Shall We Dance (I think, maybe, in another life I was a ballroom dancer:) )

8. Your favorite romantic song? I have no idea. Pathetic, I know. But my valentine, honestly, is not a music appreciator and romantic songs??? I don’t know.

What about your valentine – why not join in the fun? I think some of the questions were hard:)

  1. Hey Jen! I'll have to think about those and then fill it out on Valentines day! The "favorite song" is a hard one for me too. Not really sure at all!

    I am still trying to decide what to do on Valentines day for Bob. I think I might make a really yummy meal since it's after church. At MOPS the other day, a woman made an entire Valentines meal and it was so great! She brought it in so we could all try it and WOW! Yummy! She also brought the recipes with her. The salad was a caprese salad (Bob and I's favorite and what we special ordered every night on the cruises) and then the main course was stuffed shells. These were to die for! I might just make those and then keep them in the frig until we come home. Then I can throw them in to cook!

    I wanted to also get a romantic comedy movie but I'm sure everyone else in their brother will do that so I'll have to nab one soon! You and dad should go see, "When in Rome." It was SO CUTE! And if you can't go many places, the movie theater is the place to be when it's yucky out! That's Bob and I's philosophy on Saturday nights when it's icky out and we have date night.

    Okey dokey, gonna run. What are you making for Sunday Valentines lunch/dinner?
