Today my post is over at 1 Corinthians 13 Parenting as part of that team.  You can see it here . My topic is beauty and our daughters.  Regular posts will resume here tomorrow.

Do you ever get tired of me sharing quotes with you?  I hope not.  I have had several people comment that they have benefited from the quotes, so I keep doing it.  Here are some quotes from Jesus Is            and Creature of the Word : "Grace is the foundation of Christianity and the essence of salvation." "That's why I think we should smile in church-we should dance, we should celebrate, we should laugh, and we should get over our serious selves and represent the joy of heaven."

Husbands, we need to show love to our wives every day, but today share love that covers all five senses. Don't just give something, but also say I love you. How will you love your wife today? In addition, dads, we have a great opportunity to show our daughters what a godly man is and does. My daughters need to see me express love to my wife through words, actions, gifts, hugs, kisses, etc. But I can also remind them of the great love God has for them, how they are special for who they are, and remind them daddy loves them. Enjoy the day. Happy Valentine's Day!
