Hello Friend, Valentine's Day is time to light a candle, pour a cup of tea, and remember the people we cherish. As I’ve been writing lately, I've been thinking about the kind of love that truly lasts, the kind that is faithful and rooted deep in the heart. In my stories, characters discover that real love isn’t simply a feeling. It’s a choice and a commitment that often takes acts of faith and courage. Read on for more thoughts about Valentine's Day, ways to celebrate, and love that lasts. |

Inspiration From the Author of Love "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 8 I'd love to hear what you've been reading or how you're spreading love this Valentine's Day. Just hit reply to this email! Until Next Time ~ Happy Reading, Carrie |
