“From the Pastor’s Desk”
Wisdom from the Proverbs
Many times I have heard parents lament, “What have I done wrong?” Parents are all too willing to take the blame when their children make poor choices or get themselves into trouble. Parents want so much for their children to succeed and have pleasant, carefree lives. That is why there is special joy in seeing children succeed. Mothers and fathers can feel pride and take some credit for their children when they do well. It is an honor to the parents of children who succeed, that they have done a good job of bringing them up. When parents take interest in their children and treat them with respect and care, they are giving them as great a gift as is possible. Those children who come from families where they are supposed to have the greatest chance of living good lives when they are grown.
Our heavenly Father has tried to instruct us in the ways that lead to eternal life. He has allowed us to make our own choices, though, and we must take responsibility for them, bad or good. It is His greatest wish that we follow the wisdom of His will. When we do so, it is to His glory as well as ours, that we have learned well. By listening to our heavenly Father, our lives are enriched and the years of our lives will be multiplied.
PRAYER: O God, you have been such a loving Father. Forgive me that I have often ignored the instructions you have given me for my sake. Help me to follow your will and remain steadfast in my commitment to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Valentine Dinner
We all had such a good time at the valentine dinner last Monday. So, how could we make the next Valentine better than this year’s with our loved one? I will be publishing an occasional list of suggestions that you may want to consider throughout the year, and here’s the 1st.
The Five Love Languages
1) WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
Compliments, words of encouragement, and requests rather that demands affirm the self-worth of your loved one.
2) QUALITY TIME
Spending quality time together through sharing, listening, and participating in joint meaningful activities communicates that we truly care for and enjoy one other.
3) RECEIVING GIFTS
Gifts are tangible symbols of love, whether they are items you purchased or made or are merely your own presence made available to your loved one. Gifts demonstrate that you care, and they represent the value of the relationship.
4) ACTS OF SERVICE
Criticism of your spouse’s failure to do things for you may be an indication that “acts of service” is your primary love language. Acts of service should never be coerced but should be freely given and received, and completed as requested.
5) PHYSICAL TOUCH
Physical touch, as a gesture of love, reaches to the depths of our being. As a love language, it is a powerful form of communication – from the smallest touch on the shoulder to the most passionate kiss.
