Last night on Valentine's Day we had the honor of do something a little different. Josh and I are part of a wonderful Home Group at church. I feel like this group has a heart for the Lord and has done some amazing things recently. But I also think that we are about to become on fire spiritually! Everyone in this group has a desire to serve!
I mean it...everyone!!!
One of our sweet members heard the Lord telling her that we needed to do something on Valentine's Day. Something not for ourselves. Something for others.
Our group took the news and ran with it! We put on a dinner for the widows and widowers of our church.
These are people who have lost their soul mate. The person they vacationed with. The person they brushed their teeth next to. The person that knew their favorite kind of dessert. The person they had a family with.
On a day that throws togetherness and "love" in our face these people are alone.
Oh how our hearts were moved! The joy that was in that room last night must have made God so happy. I know that we blessed the women and one sweet man who came last night. But we were truely blessed. We served along with our spouses, along with our friends, and got to witness to our children.
Thank you Lord!
P.S. I was the only one with PAPER napkins! I would like to apologize to my Home Ec teacher now. I am so sorry Mrs. Thaler!!!
