On the 1st day of February....

The Reeser Family is getting ready for Valentine's Day this year!

Instead of being a Valentines Day Grinch.... I choose to turn it into a fun example of how God loves us, just like we do with the other holidays that I love.

So what better way to show Valentine's Day than hugs and kisses, XOXO! We ran to Walmart and got two of each x's and o's. The next day we got everything ready: paint colors chosen, paint brushes, newspaper on table.... but wait Mama's got to take a picture first! CHEESE!!!!

I am making O's on my O!

Doing a great job getting the letter O covered everywhere with the color pink.

On the first day of FEBRUARY mama made for us! Cinnamon Swirl Bread (Pepperidge Farm) heart shaped french toast, bacon and not-so-good-looking heart shaped strawberries.

Thankfully we already purchased our valentines cards from last year (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for fifty cents) and other than purchasing the x's and o's we really didn't have to spend much money. I don't plan on spending money on too many other things for our fun ideas that I may create or have gotten it off of Pinterest. And we are also going to use the 3 R's from things around the house. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

I know that the Lord will help me to share His love with my family and others and that is why I choose to make this month fun and exciting. Attitude is everything, I know that my family and friends, can tell with I am not excited about something. Life is an adventure and I am so blessed to get to experience it with my husband and two little boys. No matter the hardship, or how I feel I need to rejoice in what the Lord has done! I am so thankful to serve the Almighty Lord who give me grace, love and hope even when I am not in the mood! In my devotions I read  Romans 8 and so much of what it shared about is the things that I have been struggling with.

Nothing can take that away from my LORD and his LOVE!!!!!!!!!

Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
