Hello Everyone!
What a cold (yet beautiful) Colorado day today! There's some snow on the ground but the sun came out and it was nice. I am ready for spring already, yet we do need the moisture. The yard looks all dry. The plants all look dead but my husband assures me they're just asleep. My husband also laid down a truckload of manure in the vegetable garden and he said after he tills it, it will be ready for planting in the spring.
Well, what else has been going on with me lately? ...my husband has been home a lot as he does seasonal work and right now isn't the season. We've actually been hanging out, spending some quality time with each other before early spring comes and he's back at work again.
On Saturday we went to Kmart and they were having some super good sales so we picked out our Valentines Day presents for each other already. We had so much fun. For Valentines every year he makes a delicious steak and lobster dinner for us. He worked as a chef for quite a few years and still enjoys making some good food. This year he wants to make London Broil steak.
I just love Valentines Day!

When we come to Christ, God not only forgives us, He also adopts us...
Here is how it happens. You come before the judgement seat of God full
of rebellion and mistakes. Because of His justice He cannot dismiss your sin,
but because of His love He cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned
the heavens, He punished Himself on the cross for your sins. God's justice
and love are equally honored. And you, God's creation, are forgiven. -Max Lucado
