On Monday while David and I were walking to the car after
school he was telling me all about how his teacher had them draw names from
students in his class. For the person whose name he drew, he would have to
write a special Valentine’s note. “But I drew Jordan’s name! It’s gonna be
pretty hard to say something nice. He gets on my nerves the MOST!”
Apparently, Jordan invented a game the kids play at
lunchtime called, “Cheese Touch”. David explained the game and why he hates it
so much. When Jordan yells “Cheese Touch!” everyone is supposed to touch the
cheese on their plate then touch the person sitting next to them. “It seems
like every day there is cheese in our lunch! I just ignore him. I don’t play
Cheese Touch when he yells it; then he laughs at me.”
All the way home David struggled with what to write in
Jordan’s Valentine. He said, “I could tell him that he’s good at making up
games . . .but that would just encourage him!”
Well, last night at dinner David made an important
announcement. “I finally found something nice to say in Jordan’s Valentine
note! I wrote, ‘Dear Jordan, you are very creative. Happy Valentine’s Day’.”
Not everyone in our life is easy to love. There might even
be people who are down right annoying! Just remember that Romans 5:8 says “God
demonstrated His great love for us; in that while we were still sinners Christ
died for us.” He didn’t cast us out, He doesn’t just tolerate us or try to make
us feel better about ourselves; He made us loveable. Jesus put the love in our
heart . . . give some of His Love away today.
