Just like every other Valentine's Day, I woke up to a few hundred cards and acres worth of flowers. Massive jokes! I woke up, pretended to do jobs around the house then settled for watching 90210 with ice cream whilst contemplating a long overdue trip to the gym. (Needless to say, the gym visit never happened and I'm still chilling in my onesie.) On the bright side, mum text me to say she has a present for me, proving I am loved by someone.
On another note, today has reminded me of one of my favourite quotes:
"At the back of everything is the love of God"William Barclay
A couple years ago I was at a friend's church in Northwich around valentine's day and the preacher used this quote in his sermon. I've shared it with a few people before, but it has such a mind-blowing truth! Behind everything is God's love! That's not an easy thing to see or whole-heartedly believe - that God's love is not just in the good things. But behind every sadness, every death, every job loss, every trial and every hurt. God's love is behind every seemingly bad situation too, even if it's not always obvious. What an amazingly complex God we have!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to a (sort-of) spontaneous visit from my step-brother and his wife (Sam and Becci) later on. Unfortunately I'm sure we're all going to be a bit less tanned than the last time I saw them, during our family holiday to Spain in October. Then again, I'm ginger, I'm never tanned...
