Be Mine....


"They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that I make them My jewels."
-Malachi 3:17

I ran across this verse this morning, then stopped, and ran back to it......

Those two little words caught my eye,

...Be Mine...

There it was, a little Valentine, tucked in this Book, from Him, to me...exactly where He knew I'd find it this morning...this morning of all mornings,
Valentines Day...

I couldn't have been more touched if I'd gotten a box of Godiva and a dozen red roses....

I took out my pen and drew a little heart around the two words,
then breathed softly,
"I love you too, Lord..."

A Valentine from Almighty God...

He didn't forget.

<3

a wee note from the author: Yes, I know, it's not Valentines Day QUITE yet...but it's started at my house already since it falls on a weekend this year...I wrote out all my little Valentines last night to my friends at work (I was in what I call one of my "five year old" moods : ) ) and made a yummy Valentine Cake with candy hearts sprinkled on the top to share with everyone...(I should post a pic of it!)

...so to sit down with my coffee this morning after all of that to spend some time with my First Valentine (Jesus), and to find those two little words that seemed to just jump off the page, well, it was perfect Valen-timing for me ; ) .....so I hope you'll pardon the technicality of the EXACT date, and I hope said technicality doesn't take away from your pleasure in this post...

By the way, that Valentine? it's for you too. <3

Happy Valentines Day, all <3

Oh, I love that. Be Mine. And, I really love that you found it. I can't wait to pass it along. My daughter is going to get a real thrill out of it. My own can't compete, but I have a Valentine wish for you from me:

On this day, may you know, really know how much you are loved. May you recognize love in all it's forms. May you be grateful for the love of children and pets, old friendships and your husband. May your heart swell with all the beauty this life brings. Happy Valentine's Day, my friend.
