It was a pretty sweet valentines at casa de Sublett. I helped Sadie make her valentines for her class last night. Of course, Annabelle was nearly done by the time I had to jump in to help Sadie. Sadie works a little slower than the A-bomb. Sadie did, however, create some lovely valentines for her siblings, delivered under the nom-de-plume of “the Valentine’s Fairy,” so she has that going for her.
Levi got to skip all his classes today. He was in a group of young men from the Thespians who got to wander all over school singing songs to “that special someone” today. Not a bad way to spend a day, I suppose. He said his feet hurt from all the walking!
While the kids were at school today Kim got all spiritual and crafty (sprafty? craftual?) on them. She selected a word and Bible verse for each of us, mounted them on a large paper heart, and presented them to us at supper. They’re hanging in the hallway so that we see them every day as we go out and come in, a reminder of a promise that God has for us. They’re good words, strong words, speaking of the work that God is going to do in us. She chose “Deep Love” for me, and gave me this passage from Ephesians:
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Wedding bells are set to go off all over Happy Valley. I’m lined up to do at least 5 weddings this spring/summer. Another engagement was announced over the weekend. Midtown’s own Linebacker of Love, Nate Stupar, proposed to his beloved Marissa Lower on the field at Beaver Stadium! Here’s a pic and a link to the story. Congratulations to you both!
Dude is big. He’s going to need a big tux…
