To My Valentine, "I LOVE YOU"

In between relationships I watched all the Valentine hoopla, advertising, hearts everywhere, restaurants jammed and sometimes thought how great I'm not caught up in all that!....I was sincerely glad not to be doing that because it felt "forced" upon us....That you "HAVE" to take your loved one out and it better be more romantic than the neighbors.....Oy!Vey

There has been an occasion where we hardly knew each other but felt we "had" to do this.....To sit there and half way pretend about Love.....Many years ago!

I can remember sitting in restaurants where people were ready to kill each other....Fighting over silly things, usually about money!.....One does not want to appear CHEAP...LOL....But then again there was those couples you knew were in LOVE!.....I love happy couples and always have.....Its kind of watching a genuinely happy Christian who you could tell they have Christ in their hearts.....Its written on their faces!

My favorite way to spend Valentines is in a restaurant or at home preparing a great meal with candles, etc.....Its the intimacy of it all.....To really enjoy each others company.....To savor the moment.....It your day together and you will not get many chances during our hectic schedules.....Maybe it is a good idea to kind of "force" couples together?.....

Ive been in LOVE for a little while now....True Love!.....And we have spent many nights in a restaurant....We have done this because we didn't feel like cooking, to just get out of the house, to just get reconnected with each other, to talk about "Our" future....

This will be "OUR" first Valentines together and I want her to know that this is not "forced".....That she knows that I'm sincere when I say....."I LOVE YOU TERRIE".....That she is my whole life now!.....My friend, My Soul Mate, My Lover, My confidant.....Along with my Christ Jesus thats she's everything to me now.....That I'm not waiting for Valentines Day to let her know that I Love her.....She knows this but I want to say it anyways.

I cant wait to see You Summer because I need that half hour hug....To be with you.....To be near your scent.....To be with your KISS.....To be with that smile!.......I LOVE YOU SUMMER,

Alan

"What does the Bible say about dating / courting?"

Although the words "courtship" and "dating" are not found in the Bible, we are given some principles that Christians are to go by during the time before marriage..... The first thing is that we must separate from the world's view on dating because God's way contradicts the world's...... While the world’s view may be to date around as much as we want, the important thing is to discover what kind of person we are getting into a relationship with before making any commitment...... We should find out if the person has been born again in the Spirit of Christ and if they share the same desire toward Christ likeness...... The ultimate goal of dating or courting is finding a life partner..... The Bible tells us that, as Christians, we should not marry an unbeliever because this could weaken our relationship with Christ and compromise our morals and standards.

When one is in a committed relationship, it is important to remember to love the Lord above all else...... To say or believe that another person is "everything" or the most important thing in your life is idolatry, which is a sin......But to have both is....WOW!!!

‘HE will rule them with an iron scepter.’... He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.... On HIS robe and on HIS thigh HE has this name written:... KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

Wonderful testimony of true, deep love for each other demonstrated here. Thanks for sharing Alan & Terrie. Ian and I share in your joy and we too are looking forward to our 'first' valentines together. Blessings to you both

The body of Christ is like a patchwork quilt! All stitched together with God's love.

How very beautiful! I know THAT kind of love. NOT knowing if Chrissy was alive or with God has woken me up to the marvels that only HE controls. You guys feel the love in the same State. Imagine feeling the same love over 10,000 miles away. How many people have heard Chrissy sing? How many people have heard Chrissy laugh? How many people have heard Chrissy say 'I love you? I Have! Love conquers ALL! It is a prescious gift from God Almighty! Yes, Men DO cry!

Half a Boy/Half a Man? Some women like us that way.
