Happy Valentine's Day

Updated to add: Hmmm... this is strange. This was a scheduled post that never posted. Nothing like being timely (2/23/09)!

Honey, I love you more than words can express. You are an amazing father and husband --loving, kind, and patient. Thank you for being the Godly man of my dreams! I love you -- and all that sweet stuff!!!

Now -- for you, my loyal 3 readers...

K-LOVE had a contest this week. Couples submitted their stories, and then the winner got a love song written and performed just for them by Matthew West.

They aired it today. It is beautiful. The words are perfect for anyone planning a wedding or renewal of vows. MAN he is so talented!

They have a free download of it HERE -- but if you don't get there in time...here are the words... and if someone can teach me how to upload an mp3 file --- I'll load it up here so you can hear it...

There must be a God, I believe it’s true
‘Cause I can see his love when I look at you
And he must have a plan for this crazy life
Because he brought you here and placed you by my side

And I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this moment here with you --
And now for better or for worse -- it’s so much more than only words.
And I pray that every day will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I do
Yeah, I mean what I say when I say I do.

You see … these hands you hold -- will always hold you up
When the strength you have, just ain’t strong enough
And what tomorrow brings, only time will tell
But I will stand by you -- in sickness and in health

‘Cause I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this moment here with you
Now for better or worse it’s so much more than only words.
And I pray that every day will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I do
Yeah, I mean what I say when I say --

Take my hand -- and take this ring
And know that I will always love you through anything – yeah…
And as the years march on, like a beating heart
I will live these words -- Till death do us part

‘Cause I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this moment here with you
Now for better or worse it’s so much more than only words.
And I pray that every day will be the proof
That I mean what I say when I say I do
Yeah, I mean what I say when I say I do


Happy Valentine's Day!
