A sweet Valentine season

Submitted for the Valentine's Contest by Aja from North Carolina:

I was really excited when I saw you were hosting this contest again! It has really given me a lot to think about as I seek to place my eyes on others during this holiday and not on me!

The Lord has been so good to me and has heaped blessings on my life, I'm overwhelmed sometimes. I decided to do something different this Valentine's to bless others.

I decided to take several families who I knew might be in need of extra love right now and do something special for them.

A family we have been close to for years just lost their two teenage daughters in a tragic car accident. I made meal...complete with hot bread and dessert and delivered it to them in person.

I also took a meal to a lady/family who has been sick since the beginning of January! I also delivered this to her in person.

I have an aunt that I've gotten close to who lives in Ohio....she went through a rough time last year in her marriage and so I sent her a beautiful card with a pretty magnet in the mail, to let her know I'm praying for her and love her.

I work with 4 unsaved coworkers at my present job...so I gave them each a little box of candy along with a Valentines card with a verse written to each on the Love of God and what He's done for us.

My prayer has been that this Valentines season I would set aside my own "wants/needs" long enough to ask the Lord what He would have me to do. It's made this Valentine's sweet so far.

Aja,
How wonderful that you are reaching out to others - especially thinking of those who are in crisis or having a difficult time. I promise you they will never forget your kindness. It is long-reaching.
