The devo I read to the girls this morn was perfectly suited for Valentine's Day. And it was totally a God-thing b/c it's not a devo that is dated; so the "love" theme just happened to line up with Love Day.
Here it is.
--------------------
Love Yourself, Too!
God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.
Philippians 1:6 NCV
The Bible teaches you this lesson: you should love everybody--and the word "everybody" includes yourself. Do you treat yourself with honor and respect? You should. After all, God created you in a very special way, and He loves you very much. And if God thinks you are amazing and wonderful, shouldn't you think about yourself in the same way? Of course you should!
So remember this: God wants you to love everybody, including the person you see when you look in the mirror. And one more thing: when you learn how to respect the person in the mirror, you'll be better at respecting other people, too.
A Timely Tip for Girls
When you learn about the Bible, you'll learn how much God loves you.
"He created us because He delights in us!"
Beth Moore
A Mother-Daughter Prayer
Dear Lord, we have so much to learn and so many ways to improve ourselves. But You love us just as we are. Thank You, Father, for Your love and for Your Son. Amen
-------------------------
He's crazy about us. It's easy for me to believe He's crazy about these little beauties...
But it's much more difficult for me to always believe...
He's crazy about me. But He is. And He's crazy about YOU! Crazy love.
Happy Love Day, friends.
