Spring hasn't sprung!

Well we had a beautiful day in the mid-60s. That was unique for the depths of winter in PA! But we really enjoyed it. And my husband had the day off none the less.
Valentines is on Saturday! I hope you all have something in mind for your sweetheart. You know you're sweetheart isn't always your spouse. It can be your best friend or your children or your parents. Everyone likes the reminder that they're loved. It's the time when you think extra on the someone whom you find extra special.

We, particularly, aren't doing anything special. The kids will make a card for their dad and send some valentines to their grand parents and cousins. And I'll make an actual real live sit down meal for my hubby, but nothing extravagant. We don't have the moola! I don't think anyone really does. Hubby would be touched but wish I didn't spend the money. I do look forward to the day I can get him something though.
Valentine heart plant But our love grows each year together. Even though we don't necessarily get along all the time, we do a lot of things to show each other we love each other. Simple things that say I love you and it doesn't cost a dime. Well, I guess making special dinners costs a little, but everyone gets to partake and it's still cheaper than eating out.
I'm personally looking forward to Easter. Then is the real celebration of JESUS who loves us so much He died for us. God sent His Son to die for us. I was thinking about how Abraham had to take Issac up to sacrifice him. All Abraham knew was that God told him to and He loved God and trusted Him. Abraham was ready to kill his own heir for God and I speculate that God maybe stopped him because #1 He had other plans and #2 He felt that He didn't want anyone else to have to go through the pain He was going to feel about having to sacrifice His own Son for us. So He stopped him and provided a ram to sacrifice instead. How Great Is Our God!
So when we think of our loved one. Which is great to do, God wants us to love each other infinitely. But we should remember who loves us more than anyone on this earth ever could. GOD. The ONE TRUE God. Jesus Messiah. Name above all names. Blessed redeemer and FRIEND!

All about Applemama

I'm a homeschool mother of 4 wonderful children. My girls are 11, 4 and 2. My only son is 8 and full of energy. We live in rural PA, and have 8 chickens, 5 rabbits, 3 cats, 3 ducks, and one mouse.

We were married here 11 years ago and moved off to FL - then to VA - and now back here after my husband's job was uprooted and not transplanted. He found a job to work in his field (at least somewhat) and we are taking a wonderful opportunity to move back to where we met. We have old friends here and enjoy reconnecting with the church where we were married. We love it and are making many new friends.
