It’s a Valentine’s Day Hodgepodge! Thank you Joyce From This Side of the Pond for the love filled questions this week.
1. What does love mean to you?
I’m fighting between being trite or deep with this question. Have you read The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman?
I think Words of Affirmation speak love to me and Acts of Service.
Understanding God’s love for us is important in knowing how to express our love for others. God’s love is complex and perfect. It never compromises from the Truth of God’s Word.
“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23

2. Is love blind?
Simple answer, no. Complex answer, love sees, knows, confronts, forgives and lasts.
~
—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

3. How do you remember Valentine’s Day as a kid? Do you have any special plans for the day this year?
Valentine’s day in the 50’s was one of my favorite days at school. I so enjoyed the bag or box of Valentines to open and enjoy.
We don’t have anything special planned for today except for giving Addy and JJ their Valentine gifts.

4 Are you a fan of the movie genre known as ‘rom-com’? What’s your favorite (or one of your favorites)?
Not my favorite genre. In my not so humble opinion, bedroom scenes should not be broadcast on the screen. I can appreciate the romance in period pieces like Pride and Prejudice.

5. What’s something you recently put your heart into?
Looking for a little something special for Addy and JJ for Valentine’s Day.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
This is a ‘Valentine’s Day past’ table setting.
I put my heart into setting a themed table. I’m doing it less now but it still is enjoyable for me.
~~~~
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
May you “know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Happy Valentines Day Ellen! Take care, have a wonderful day!
What a pretty table! I enjoy putting a lot of thought and love in to gifts for my grands as well. Acts of service speak to my heart too. They are what I meant when I said ‘walking the walk’ but I didn’t say it quite so well : ) Have a nice day!
No matter your subject, your posts show your deep faith. I hope your day is filled with love.
…Ellen, Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Your table setting was lovely and you really captured the meaning of love with your words. Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day.
Hi Ellen, I like to see Hallmark movies and Pride and Prejudice. I like your table setting. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! You always set such a beautiful table!!
Always enjoy reading your answers.
Beautiful Table.
Wonderful thoughtful answers and I’m too a big fan of Pride and Prejudice. Wishing you a grand Valentine’s Day!💖
I always enjoy your responses, and agree with you – our Lord is the greatest love story to celebrate. I do enjoy Pride and Prejudice too! Much more my style! I hope you have a special day with your two grandchildren, your Valentine’s table is beautiful!
I enjoyed reading your answers. Valentine’s day was fun as a child. I do enjoy Ron-Coms. Your table setting is beautiful.
That’s one reason I don’t care for todays “romantic movies”. They are nothing more than soft porn. I don’t want to see it. Enjoyed your answers.
What a gorgeous themed table setting! You really went all out! I agree with you about the movies. We can figure out what’s happening, we don’t need to see it.
