Multitudes on Monday ~ Gifts of Love

I have a lot of love in my life.  I love my God, I love my kids, I love my friends...so much to choose from on a day of love!  But, at the heart of it all, this day is a day meant for romantic love...the kind of love I have for only one. 

So I thought this would be the perfect day to shift things a bit and list only things about my Valentine.  I could easily make all 1000 about this man, but will keep it to but a few as I continue on with my 1000 Gifts:



169.  He loves me well.
170.  His patience.
171.  His kindness.
172.  His humility.
173.  His respectful attitude towards everyone.
174.  His trust in the Lord.
175.  His optimism.
176.  His gentleness.
177.  His strength.
178.  His work ethic.
179.  His willingness to learn and grow.
180.  The way he challenges me.
181.  The way he pushes me.
182.  The way he loves our children.
183.  The way he loves ice cream.
184.  The way he can raise both eyebrows, one at a time.
185.  His laugh.
186.  The way he looks into me, not just at me.
187.  The way our hands fit together perfectly when we hold hands.
188.  The way he encourages me.

190.  His discipline.
191.  The way he leaves me little notes before he leaves in the morning.
192.  That he calls me just to say he's thinking about me.
193.  That he will serve me cookies and milk.  As long as I make the cookies. :)
194.  That he is a gentleman.
195.  That he treats me like a lady.
196.  That he lets me tuck my cold feet under his legs to warm up when I get into bed.

198.  He shows me he loves me every day.
199.  a gift worth noting twice:  #156

Happy Valentine's Day to my sweetheart....I love you so very much.

  2. I came over from Ann’s today. I know it’s two days after the fact. But there are so many grateful lists to read – all of them so good. And yours is too. It was a blessing.

    First – no fare quoting a previous gift from another list!!!! :)

    My favorite from your thankful list is this one: 198. He shows me he loves me every day. (saying the words is one thing – showing the love quite another – this made me smile – thank you)

    God Bless and Keep you and your family
