What is a Valentine?

This post is a Valentine Tribute...which may nauseate you...but is, nevertheless, appropriate...

What is a Valentine?

Well....it is not all roses and chocolate (which, by the way is not on my diet)...It is not all romance and sweet talk (although those things are nice additions)....A Valentine is.....

A man who is devoted to God, family and others - in that order...
A man who prepares your children's lunches every morning - and even draws pictures on the lunch bags for them most days....
A man who spends Thursday mornings (for now) at the laundrymat doing everyone's laundry b/c the washer does not work well in the house where you are staying.
A man who double checks the locks on the doors every night before he goes to bed.
A man who uses his Christmas gift cards to buy things for everyone else.
A man who makes sure that you never have to worry about whether your car has gas or not.
A man who prays with you before falling asleep.
A man who takes out the trash.
A man who brings you coffee some mornings.
A man who doesn't complain when the house is messy - and who helps pick up.
A man who coaches his son's basketball team.
A man who encourages you.
A man who says nothing when you are on a much needed diet but decide that you want to eat one of "Bob's Big Burgers" instead of a salad.
A man who NEVER misses his daughter's games.
A man who cleans out your closet for you!
A man who irons his own clothes....AND YOURS and the KIDS!

Shall I go on??? I could...and for days.
Never forget that the love language of ACTION is more powerful than WORDS. May I never take my VALENTINE for granted!

We celebrated early. We attended the Madrical Dinner at Greentree Country Club. It was a FABULOUS presentation put on by the Lee Choral (one of our students, James, was "KING JAMES".... The night out was a treat from our new friends, David and Misty Baker. (David is a Chris Yeargin twin!) We had a great time! Sorry for the blurry pic....
