And Happy Valentine’s Day – A Day of love! But beyond a day filled with cute cards, I love any reminder –in my calendar or otherwise, to show tenderness and affection to the people that I love most. Today we are going to start a three part series on creating an atmosphere of affection within our homes.We will consider how to daily choose to practice love, recognize that we are always either moving closer to one another or further apart, and think through some simple rhythms to show tenderness and care to those we love the most.Routines, rhythms and practices are always informed by what we most deeply believe. We cannot foster an environment of love and affection within our homes until we behold the Love of God and commit to walk as he walked. It is Christ in us, and our daily decision to follow him, the ultimately empowers us to practice daily love.Also! Happy 70th Birthday to my incredible dad, Del Clark who has modeled daily love to his family for decades. I am eternally thankful to be your daughter. <3
