How perfect is that. Found only in Jesus that's for sure. As for me I come a very poor second, third, last. I wish I loved better. I want to love better. I will love better.
Having said that I've spent today with a number of people who I love so dearly that it hurts my valentine's heart. There are others that were not part of my celebrations and for that I'm sad but I trust they know that they are amongst my 'loved'. If they don't because circumstances seem different then I'm telling them now. You are my beloveds. You know who you are.
An extra blessing today was the visit of my eldest sister. Timely. Needed. I do indeed love her and I KNOW that she loves me. We visited one of my favourite places to go: Petersham nurseries. A garden centre, but only in name. Think nothing of what you know of garden centres - this is a place of such beauty, such inspiration, such style. I never go there where I am not emotionally fed, soul uplifted and creativity inspired. If you ever visit and one of us has a car - ask me to take you there and I hope it will be as much a joy to you as it is to me.
It was to Janet. I believe she loved it too and we sat over a jug, yes I said a jug, of hot chocolate and a coffee (no cakes as I get weighed tonight!!!!!!) and we talked, imagined, dreamed of our gardens in a whole new light. As we left the shop, with it's emperors new clothes prices, I spied this.
For everything there is a season, and I'm looking for the snowdrop in my life - the sign for the future, the sign that the harvest is on it's way. Its winter but spring's a coming, and that means summer is just down the road.
But for now I'm off to be weighed - early - so I can then go and gorge myself on dinner with my forever Valentine. Alan. He loves me, He loves me...., He loves me. And I love him.
