Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
While I love Valentine's Day, our culture has made love into mushy feelings...this is not what love is. God's love was demonstrated for us on the cross...that He sent His only Son to die for our sins...while we were still sinners. He didn't wait for us to become 'good,' but He took on our punishment, paid in full, so that we could have life eternal with Him in Heaven. Now on earth, those that know Christ through His Word, live out this sacrificial love so that the world can see what God is like, because God is love. Laying down one's life does not always mean dying for them, but 'dying' to our own selfish desires, and desiring the other person's highest good, no matter the cost...even unto death.
Now...on to some adorableness. The weather outside is wonderful...and we are loving it. Here are some pictures of our little Valentine. :)

| This is from yesterday...they don't look happy, but I think really they are squinting in the sun. |

| Ahh, what a little angel. |
 |
| Can you see the tail? |

| My little book lover. |
 |
| Peeking at me. |

| We had a cupcake date...Emma went straight for the frosting. |
