Valentines day dinner prep!

Today I am getting ready for our traditional family valentines dinner. This year, Daddy is going to let the older boys "help" him prepare the fancy dinner for the princesses of the house!

I love looking at pictures from Last year, and the year before. Our days are numbered for this kind of valentines day, but we will enjoy it while it lasts!

God, thank you for these dear children! As we celebrate Valentines day with them today, we ask Your blessing on them! If it is Your will for them to marry someday, we pray that you would provide for each of them a spouse who blesses them, who will join with them to create a home that springs out of Your love and is filled with it. Thank you for these Valentines days before dating, when relationships are simple, when they are glad to celebrate with just their family. Let the girls always remember that love is like what they received from their daddy when then were little. Let our imperfect example point the boys and the girls toward You, the giver of Life and Love, as we see in Jesus. Amen.
