Why Valentines Day

I did not have the blog background I have for Valentines Day- I have it simply because I think you should tell the people you care about on daily basis- Marcus and I have this thing we do and he does not even realize it- I hug him- give him a kiss- tell him I love him - and tell him to have a good day every day before I leave for work- I also tell him I will see him later-

So why wait til Valentines Day- you don't - do it everyday- to whom ever you care about -

If I could list all the people on here that mean the world to me I would-but the list would be incredibly long- you know who you are - I love you all- care about you and have a good day.

I was speaking to our case worker yesterday and Marcus' therapist this week- he has made progress since the end of October- since July of 2005 - yes apporaching 5 years of being in my home - can you believe it- and finally he has voiced on his own- I know my mommy loves me even whe I am not behaving- you have to understand this is huge!!!! Also this week we had a break through at school which tickles me- Marcus Behavioral Specialist told me Marcus asked to give him a hug- this was a first in 3 years. God sure is amazing

I am not one who focuses on Valentines Day- I understand why we have it and great- but I truly believe that love should be celebrated daily and we must remember what the bible says

1 Corinthians 13:4 (The Message)
3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end.
