It's not that unusual when everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when its time to snow
You don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable'
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle'
Its seems so exceptional
Things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
It's just another ordinary miracle today

tomorrow is Valentine's Day...
some people call it SAD... single's awareness day
but it's not.
it's just a day, just another ordinary day. but it's one where the common, misinterpreted representation of love is expressed...
love is a miracle. real love is a miracle... because it's the grace of God. it's selfless. it's powerful. it's vulnerable. it's scary. it's tangible.
but it's not pink and red.
maybe it's roses.
maybe it's x's and o's.
maybe it's a night out.
it all depends on your love language...
but it's not February 14th
it's a verb... an action/being verb. meaning it's something you -do-, but always.
tomorrow is a miracle. just like every day.
love is a miracle. just an ordinary miracle.
but it's a job. a hard one. and one that we are called to do every day.
"Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own"
give some of your life away. that's what love is about.
Saint Valentine (and actually there are many of them) is a martyr.
so Valentine's day is about sacrifice.
love is a sacrifice. but love is grace.
Galatians 5:1,13-15
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
today was "To Write Love On Her Arms" day... if you had forgotten that, or didn't even plan on doing it, i challenge you to do it tomorrow. only don't write it on your arms, write it on your life.

"only don't write it on your arms, write it on your life."

plus that song...
wow. who is it?
"When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away

i let go of my dreams far too often...but the Lord has changed something in me, or is changing something, and a dream is so different than what it was before. i don't think i can explain that, but maybe you can understand it.
I really like how you directly went against the idea of February 14th being the only day to express love.
Its so true, its just like so many other examples in the world, we have set days where we do stuff, like maybe some conference, we're there for a weekend, on fire, and too soon after we get back, its just normal again, no more "mmphh" -thats not miles per hour, thats "mmmmpphhh" like....heart.
Single awareness day haha thats awesome.
I'm proud to be a single, and Josh Harris would want me to embrace my singleness haha.
I mean, if i do get the chance to be married someday, it will be much longer than being single, singleness is such a short time...don't get me wrong, the latter is much less preferred lol.
but hey, everything's right tonight. literally, and that song is playing right now.
