Cupid's Mission

Ahhh love is in the air...Or at least it will be soon!

 


Here are a few ideas to make this Valentine's Day special!  

 Family and Friends 
  • Leave a sweet message on the bathroom mirror (use lipstick for your sweetie and dry erase markers for your little ones).
  • Serve breakfast with a Valentines theme - Pretty pink eggs,  Precious pink pancakes (cut into darling heart shapes) and so on. 
  • Your children will love this-write 26 notes using each letter of the alphabet to describe what makes them special.  Hide the notes all over the house revealing clues to make them hunt for their treasures. 
  • Little girls love having a special tea party!  Top it off by having a mini makeover complete with hair, manicure and pedicure.  Nothing beats miniature pink toenails!
  • Sandwiches cut into hearts; make the perfect lunch.
  • Bake yummy cookies to share with your neighbors.
  • Design a homemade Valentine instead of a store bought card.
  • Before bed have each person in the family express one thing that they really love about everyone else.
  • Spend the day making special memories and treats with your children; then tuck them into bed early so that you and your honey will have some snuggle time.

Simply Romantic
I gave you some hints... now it's time for you to unleash your imagination...
  • Send a sizzling e-mail or text to your man.
  • Write a note for each year you have celebrated Valentine's Day together. Again, give him clues and make him search for the prize.
  • Prepare your husbands favorite dinner and serve in your bedroom by candlelight.  Don't forget to use your best linens and china.
  • Dress in something attractive...  After all.. you were a woman and wife long before you were a mother...
  • Light some candles..play some music..and dance the night away.
Be a friend to yourself.  I'm a firm believer that a wife and mother needs to take time for herself.  As women we wear many hats, and I know for me some days are exhausting.  I need time to fill back up and be rejuvenated or I become grumpy.  And like the old sayin' goes... if mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy!  So, at the close of the day take some time to enjoy doing whatever you love.  Me.  Well... I'll be soaking the cares away underneath a large mound of bubbles.

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

Until then...

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
