Valentines Day 2025 Is Going To Be Sad

As Valentine’s Day approaches at the end of the week, it will be a special day for my wife and I because it will probably be our last together. Of course, we never know when it will be the “last” of anything. But this is different because of her failing health. Just to think we met through a Christian Singles paper ( long before e-Harmony and the like) in 1996. She thought I was too young for her. ( She is about 10 years older). I was in St. Louis and she was in Nashville. She had a career in Nashville and it just made more sense for me to come to Nashville.

It has been some ride and I would do it all over again in a split second.

How Are Your Nails Doing? ( Not the Ones on Your Hands)

When we think of nails, we often think of the ones we have on our hands. Yet we all have nails in our hands that are far more significant than the ones that many like to paint with different colors.

The ones I am referring to are the ones that the struggles of daily life give us each day. We might think of them as small or big, but in reality, they are all small compared to the nails hammered into Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s hands on that fateful day so many centuries ago.

I know it can be difficult when the nails seem so big that we don’t see how we will ever get through the pain and suffering but always remember that all of your “nails”
are small in comparison. Besides, there is a way for all of us to remove those nails from our hands and it is a relatively simple thing that can be so difficult and that is to be in the word of God each day.

I know for me personally that has been a major struggle due to the life events that are out of my control.
