THE LEGEND OF THE VALENTINE...
The legend says St. Valentine
Was in a prison cell
Thinking of his little flock
He had always loved so well
And wanting to assure them
Of his friendship and his love
He picked a bunch of violets
And sent them by a dove.
And on the violets' leaves
He pierced these lines divine
That simply said, "I Love You"
And "I'm your Valentine"
So through the years that followed
From that day unto this
Folks still send messages of love
And seal them with a kiss.
Because a Saint in prison
Reached through prison bars one day
And picked a bunch of violets
And sent them out to say
That faith and love can triumph
No matter where you are
For faith and love are greater
Than the strongest prison bar.

The most treasured gift we have is the ability to give of ourselves without expecting something back. Gifts of the heart such as encouragement, hope, love and kindness. What we receive from giving is worth so much…knowing that we have made a difference in someone’s day is gratification enough.
GOOD MORNING !
A STORMY VALENTINES DAY
This morning I have a special Valentine gift – a day off from work or at least a late start for sure.
The wind and the snow continued through the night and it will take some time just to clear the driveway in order to get the car out today. We have lots and lots of snow - - well over a foot by the looks of things.
It was nasty coming home from work yesterday. I was so very relieved when I made it home. Unless the roads are cleared today, I’m not even going to try to venture out. They say it will be noon before we see a slow down, but even at that a lot of blowing and drifting going on.
I'll be praying for any travelers today and for the snow shovelers and road crews that have a big job to do.
Happy Valentines Day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I've learned that when you're in love, it shows.

Brrrrrr..... all that snow looks nasty ! Guess we know what you will be doing today in trying to dig yourself out from under. An unexpected day off of work is a wonderful gift. Happy Valentine's Day to you.
I'm glad you are home safe and aren't out in that cold.
