As I sit here eating my bowl of Cap'n Crunch mixed with Fruit Loops, I got to thinking about Valentine's Day. And then that got me to thinking about love, which made me think of Caleb. That is where my thoughts have stuck. Bought not the drooling over Caleb and how much I love him thoughts (while it is very true, I love him very very much) but more of how do I show Caleb I love him. I want Caleb to know just exactly how much I love him. I want him to understand that he is everything to me and I wouldn't dream of my life being any different way than it is now. I want him to feel that kind of love radiating from me, but I don't think he does. Why? Because I don't show it. Lately, I have been taking advantage of him. I will ask him to do something without saying thank you or I will just naturally expect him to come home from work and immediately start helping me. That's not the way I should be. For Caleb, I know he likes to sit down for a few minutes after he gets home, and I know that he really likes it if I will stop what I am doing and just sit down with him and talk about his day, but lately, I have not been doing that. I need to start thinking about the real reason for love. I got to looking at 1 Corinthians 13 the other day, it really had me start thinking. Love is patient...how patient am I? If caleb doesn't do what I ask within 5 minutes do I jump his case? Love is kind? Am I kind to Caleb? I know that I love him, but am I kind to him? And the list goes on, this is just some things that I have been thinking about as Valentine's Day comes around again. If you think about it, pray for me as I try to deepen my love and relationship with Caleb!

On a side note, I took a walk with my dog this morning in just jeans and a sweatshirt!!! Hooray, maybe spring is coming! Even if there is more winter coming, I am very thankful for this brief period of warmer weather! (I think I am going to freeze everyone out of my house this afternoon, I have one window in every room open to air out the house!) AND an exciting thing is happening tonight! Caleb called me from work and told me not to make plans for tonight! We are having a date night! Hooray!!! I love those nights, they are so special! Well, I am off to switch laundry and work on my Bible study! Have a great weekend! Enjoy the weather!
