I never put much expectation on Valentine’s Day when it comes to romance. I don’t know why. I guess I didn’t see the day to be an important holiday, but just one of those days for fun. I just looked forward to candy whether it was from friends, boyfriend, parents, etc… LOL

But God has shown His love to me by blessing me with my fiance, and wonderful blessing He has provided in our planning for our wedding! With my wedding being Hearts theme…that will be the greatest day of love for me until the next best comes my way whether it be a baby, or anniversary! ^_^

i agree also i think that it sounds like a rough time. i remember when i was in junior high we had a heart sucker sale and i would always wander would i get one from a boy but it did not happen though.That is sort of the same experience i guess.

Excellent devo, Lisa! I remember a time when I, too, gauged my self-worth in whether or not I had a boyfriend. Wow, have things changed. (Thank you, Jesus!)

Married for 23 years, I’ve learned that love isn’t about the roses, the right card, or a red velvet teddy bear. True love is about making time for one another, sharing your hearts, laughing together, forgiving each other, and hanging in there on all the hard days.

Thank you for sharing a piece of your heart, Lisa. Well done!

Ouch…your story in the comments sounds quite painful – I don’t think I’d have quite gotten over that one either. I remember the carnation cards – I always hated those fundraisers — I can’t remember ever getting one single flower from a boy I liked. My girlfriends were always the ones that gave them to me. or my mom, which is worse. lol

Thanks for coming from backstage to talk to us!

I agree with Lisa whole heartedly…. so often we’re caught up in what others think of us to determine our self worth and sadly, i see it starting with my 10 year old.

and so glad to see you pop out from behind the scenes Lisa. You need to do it more often….

Hey ladies!

My first Valentine’s Day with the love of my life, I thought was going to be everything I ever dreamed of — unfortunately it was nothing like I ever dreamed. Long story (over on my blog) but his dog bit my lips — both upper and bottom. My lips swelled and bruised of course after the bleeding stopped. I couldn’t even enjoy a nice V-day kiss.

Regardless, I don’t care much for the holiday at all. I’d just as soon skip over Feb 14th on my calendar. How about you?
