Valentine's Surprise

Last night before our Couples Bible Study, David pulled out this shiny red bag. He said it was an early Valentine's present.


What was it, you might ask???

Maybe some perfume...maybe a nightie...maybe another gift card for a massage...

Nope, it was this:



I never would have guessed that my very own (Pink & Brown, I might add!) study Bible was in this little bag! I was in awe! Church & this class have really renewed our hearts, minds and our marriage. :)

David,

Thank you for this wonderful, heartfelt gift. You truly amaze me after all these years together! I look forward to continuing to grow in our faith together!

1 Corinthians 13

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I love you so much!
~Your 1st Bear (Clare, of course, is his 2nd Bear)
