This is a new year! Welcome it with Love..

I welcome 2010 as a year of LOVE. Not that sappy love you get when your husband walks in the room but that love that overcomes you when someone you love is happy, when they smile and you can see their heart. You all know that feeling. For me that feeling comes when one of my boys succeeds in doing something they didn't think they could do. I also see it in my husband when he comes home all excited because he found something that he knows someone will use and wants to give it to them quickly. He has such a giving and loving heart and when he smiles I feel his excitement. I love that feeling!

So not only will this be a year of love for others, but a year of love to the Lord. Last year I dug into God's word, this year I plan to do the same. The Scriptures can really speak to your heart, if that's your desire. I fell in love with the Lord last year, in a way I hadn't loved Him before. I'm not embarrassed to admit that, I'm thrilled to admit it. I learned of His amazing and merciful love for me. I want everyone to have this love, this feeling and their place in eternity. So to share His love with others, I'll pronounce His love more.

Writing again will be an awesome way for me to exercise this love. Years ago, I wrote and wrote and wrote. At one point my writing went from sweet and nice to simply dark. Then the Lord took that ability from me. Seriously, I believe that. He gave me a gift and I didn't use it for His glory, but now I want to write again, and this desire has to come from the Lord. I want to write all over the skies, so this blog will definitely be a wonderful aid to feed that desire.

So check back often you never know what I'll have to say!!

Oh..and since this post was about love..how about sharing a photograph that I think captures a big brothers love.. and what about Scripture on brotherly love? If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from Him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. I John 4:20-21 I'm sure I'll have a post on brotherly love soon..I think I'll make a poster about brother love to hang in my boys' bedrooms..
