happy valentines day!!!!

i had such a good valentines day today. instead of navel gazing i decided i would make life a little brighter for those around me. my family woke up to little presents for each person and i took presents to work for the 3 ladies i sit with. they were all so totally surprised. it kept a smile on my face all day. and when i got home freddie had a little surprize for me. she made me a pillow and a card. it was so sweet and was from her heart. which are the best kind of presents. she has been a tough nut to crack over the last year but i think she is getting a little softer and realizing that she is loved so much by all of us. in a lot of ways she is afraid of getting hurt and i can't blame her. she has had so many promises broken by the very people who should be protecting her. i know part of the hardness toward God is because of this. but i also know that He has a plan for her and she can run but cannot hide from His love.
