We Love

Happy Valentine's Day!  In honor of Valentine's, I thought this was the perfect time to post something very sweet about love.  It isn't just any love, it is God's love, and the love between a husband and a wife, and a love that is selfless.

I recently came across a bride who asked for a special order.  I was so impressed by her beautiful idea and the symbolism behind it.

First, she purchased this lovely antique hand towel/table runner from me.  

Then, she asked if I could have it embroidered for her with the following scripture:

As part of her wedding ceremony, she and her husband are going to wash eachother's feet with it.  What a beautiful gesture to bring God into their marriage from the very beginning and to show there humble and selfless commitment to eachother.  

One of the really wonderful things about this is what a treasure and momento this towel will be for years to come.  They can decorate with it, or put it in a special place as not to forget the sacred promises they have made to eachother and to God.

The root of our love comes from God first, but all the drops of love throughout our life have brought us to where we are now.  Perhaps some of us don't always feel love, or weren't loved or treated as we should, but God's love can fill us up where we are not whole, and we can create a new life.

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's day…. and remember, that we love, because we were first loved.  So spread the love, and allow someone else to first be loved by you, and I am sure the love will come back to you as you give selflessly to others.
