He Brings Me Flowers

Okay, I know I just posted yesterday but I really wanted to share what I was feeling today, especially as I woman to other women.

Yesterday was date night for Aldo and I.  I love date night - time away to have conversation, stare at each other and eat good food uninterrupted!  Well when Aldo got home from work he had a beautiful vase full of flowers and a very touching, personal card.  Now, I do not get flowers often, maybe once or twice year - and always for a specific occasion, like Mother's Day, so these "random" flowers really meant a lot to me and it was a very romantic gesture from my sweet hubby.

This morning while I ate breakfast the flowers were sitting in front of me at the table.  As I gazed at them I felt really overcome with emotion, I felt loved. I felt loved by my husband, but even more than that, I felt loved by God.

I can hear the minds thinking "Loved by God because your husband brought you flowers?" Yes! I started praising God because I realized that there are moments every day that He "brings me flowers"...small fragrant moments of beauty that permeate my life.  Gestures of His passionate love and pursuit for me.  If you read this, I encourage you to meditate on how God romances you through out your day.  That is what I am going to be doing today.  Just soaking up all the love that my Savior pours out on me.  If you are unaware of God's love for you, let this little post prompt you to take a moment, get away from all that life is right now, bring some worship music (google Jason Upton or Kim Walker, or Alberto and Kimberly Rivera and I am sure you will find something on YouTube - if you don't have any good worship music laying around), turn off all the gadgets, let the sunlight be the only light in the room, or a candle, and just sit there and receive God's love.  Trust me, it is there, waiting to be received.
