10 Valentines Day gift ideas and tips

Greetings everyone, since Valentines Day is just around the corner I thought this would be a great time to remind everyone that the people we love need to be told just that “I Love You” from time to time.  Well they made this special day to do just that, but in creative and unusual ways to spice up the relationship.

Tip #1:  Leave small post it notes on the fridge or on the mirror where your significant other will see them.  Get creative and funny if you want to with the messages, they will get a giggle and feel very special.

Tip #2:  Plan a special outing, whatever you both like to do, whether it’s hiking,  have a special picnic with wine and take out, make it easy and fun and not a lot of preparation involved for you to have a special day together.  Toss some ideas around in your mind and then talk it over with him or her.

Tip #3:  If your loved one likes a good meal then prepare a special meal for him or her and include both foods you and him love, dress up in a sexy outfit if you have one. He will love it. Free Shipping on Healthy and delicious meals at MagicKitchen.com

Tip #4:  Bring her flowers or a gift that says how much you care, it can be just one rose but when you give it to her with a smile and let her know how much she means to you well that’s all this gal will need, plus a kiss of course. Or why not a gift that is personalized - make it extra special at Personalization Mall. Show them how much you care with a gift made just for them.

Tip #5:  Take her to her favorite movie and then dinner for the evening – just the two of you, leave the worries of everything else behind when you are spending time with her so she feels she has all your attention.  The same goes for women, make him feel he is the only person in the world right at that moment.

Tip #6:  Valentines gifts doesn’t have to cost anything, you can get creative and make a beautiful card.  Add a special note to the card with a special treat they will be getting as part of their gift like for instance,  a long soothing massage after dinner or any other activity you both will enjoy.  You can really get your creative juices flowing at this point and think of ways to show your love for that other person in ways only you both can understand and enjoy.

Tip #7:  If you are married with children make sure to plan your getaway ahead of time and line up a sitter for the kids on your date with your spouse.  I believe it’s very important for married couples to take time away from their kids and spend quality time together getting to know each other when life gets to crazy and busy.

Tip #8:  Chocolate is a lovers delight – I have often heard it said.  If she loves chocolate be sure to try this website, they have some amazing treats she will love.  Or how about a personalized gift, there is a website called Personalizationmall.com that has so many ideas it will make your head spin.

Tip #10:  Flowers are a wonderful gift for any occasion has some arrangements that will make her glow.  It is easy to order online and have them delivered at just the right time for her on Valentines Day.

I know you have other ideas and tips that I haven’t even touched on.  I hope that these will enlighten and encourage you to do something fun and loving for the one you love.  Remember love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or  proud. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:4-7.

May all the love you hold so dear in your hearts overflow to those around you each and every day.  As God has loved us, we too should love others. 

Blessings to you on Valentines Day!

Pray for our nation

Hello and welcome once again to my Faith Nuggets!  Today I want to call upon everyone to pray, for our Nation and our government, for our young children and teenagers and for families struggling in this very tough economy.  I wish I could say that things are just peachy with me and believe me when I say this, I wish they were, but they are not.  After Christmas some very heavy burdens have been placed on our family and I know it's the enemy at work trying to distroy marriages, relationships and finances.  But I will not let that happen, the Lord is faithful and he will meet all of my needs according to his riches and Glory - Amen. 

So, I urge you today right now take a few minutes and pray.  I have included a wonderful website that is called the World Prayer Team where you can sign up for "free" and then just add up to three prayers within a given time frame,  or you may start a prayer session and pray for others. The Lord says in his word that if we pray for others our prayers will be heard, so when times get tough the tough get on their knees.

I know these obstacles in my life will get better because I have lifted them to the Lord and I trust in Him.  So if you have anything you would like to be rid of for this New Year - then get on your knees - in our weakness He is strong -  blessings to you and yours!

Story of thanks

There was once a man who used to go down to the dock in Florida and like clockwork every Friday he would walk up with a bucket of shrimp and he would slowly toss the shrimp into the water.  The seagulls would flutter all around and eat the shrimp, and for some reason one would always land on his cap. He wore an old cap and if you could get close enough to hear him he would say as he threw the shrimp into the water "Thank you God - Thank you God", he would keep saying. 

If you didn't know who this man was you'd probably think he was weird for doing this. But those who knew him were aware that during WWII he was a pilot and his name was Ed.  When he was on a mission and his plane crashed into the ocean the crew of seven men were able to swim up to a raft for safety.  They were there for days on end. They had water but they didn't have food.  Now after the 7th day they all knew they probably didn't have much more time to live.  So Ed lead all the men into prayer asking for a miracle and food.  A while later the men all tried to sleep and suddenly a seagull landed on Ed's hat.  Ed slowly grasped the seagull and they cleaned it and ate it.  They used the intestines to catch small fish for bait, then they would use that bait to catch more fish.

This helped them survive for a few days until they were rescued from a plan that was flying overhead.  So Ed because of his gratitude and was so thankful to the Lord, goes out every Friday and tosses shrimp into the ocean to say "Thank you God for saving me".

This is a great story and makes me ask - how many times has God saved you?  Today is the day we need to think about this and make sure we are thanking him for the trials he gets us out of or trouble we get into.  He is so faithful.  Turn to him and see him go to work for you.

God Bless.
