Today is Valentines Day.
In our house we try to express how much we love each other often.
No so much on Valentines day.
We will do something small for one another but it is never crazy, over the top or expensive.
With kids its seems like it is usually more about them which is good.
But today I have been thinking less about red roses, chocolates, and cards and more about the Lord.
This past Sunday we all got up and were preparing for church like we usually do. The kids we ready and coloring and Matt and I were getting everything together to go. Jack came up to show us the cutest picture.
It was a picture of a big cross in the middle of the page and two smaller crosses on either side of it. On the big cross he drew a picture of Jesus sitting on the cross.
Later when we got home Jack continued to replicate this picture. ten eleven twelve times he made the same picture. When he was all done he brought the stack to me and explained to me that he was going to pass these pictures out to all the people who did not know the Lord.
How amazing!
How amazing that a 5 year old would have so much love for the Lord that he would think for almost 5 hours straight about spreading the word of what he had done for us.
Oh man did I cry.
I would love to have this strong of a passion for the Lord. And for spreading his word.
Jack has a strong passion for the Lord.
And I love my Jack and I love his passion. I am thankful to the Lord for letting me be his Mommy. I can't wait to watch him grow in it and see all the wonderful things he does.
I hope one day I can show the Lord the type of indescribable love that he shows me daily.
Happy Valentines Day!
