February 14 will always be a very special day to me.  For, you see, on this day, in 1959, Jesus became my Sweetheart.  And He's still my Sweetheart.  I was a scared little girl at eleven years of age, and I was afraid to go to bed at night, afraid of an atomic bomb or the end of the world.  

I was invited to go to church and was picked up every Sunday morning and taken to Sunday School. Soon after, my mother started to church and prayed back through. I started going to the altar and asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins and invited Him him into my heart.  I felt like I was climbing up a tall ladder with angels at the top with arms opened to me.  I climbed higher and higher until I reached the top where Jesus filled me with His spirit and I spoke in that heavenly language as the spirit gave the utterance. I was baptized in the lovely name of Jesus and have lived for him all these years.

Yes, I have failed Him many times but He has never failed me.  He is ALWAYS there for me and still remains my Sweetheart.  So, you see, I have an earthly sweetheart, my wonderful husband, and an eternal Sweetheart, Jesus Christ.  The latter has promised me a home in glory with Him one day, and I'm looking forward to seeing him face to face and thanking Him for always being there for me and NEVER leaving me alone.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
