It's ALL About Love....(and dueling too...)

 

   Hello girls,

it’s February and Judy and I are the Dueling Darling hostesses for this round . Together, we have chosen this theme of love, based on the Bible verses from Corinthians 13: 4, 7, 13

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres…And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (New International Version)

There is so much about love to celebrate in February, besides the forever traditional day of love, Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14^th. 

Some celebrations that take place this month ,and that may inspire you as you create your card for the upcoming duel, are:

• American Heart Month
• International Friend Month
• Random Acts of Kindness Week (10^th – 16^th in 2013)
• Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week (17^th – 23^rd in 2013)
• Send a Card to a Friend Day (Feb. 7^th)
• Love Your Pet Day (Feb. 21^st)
• Family Day (Feb 18, 2013 in Canada)

With this theme in mind we would like you to sow the seeds of love and kindness you have received in your life. You are challenged to pay it forward by performing a kind gesture and doing it anonymously! The week of the 10^th – 16^th may be the perfect opportunity for you to do this.

For my 'pay forward' , last Tuesday after my specialist apptm. hubby took me to a Greek Rest for  a late lunch....there I met a past student of mine on her way to court for a very disturbing testifying necessity .....

As we took care of our bill, I told our waitress that I would like also to take care of  the girl's lunch bill....

Obviously my ex student would know who it was who gave her a 'treat', but at least she found out after we left.... 

Same day, same place...I bought a gift certificate for my physiotherapist....

He will be receiving it anonimously via mail, with an unsigned card of appreciation for all he's done......I know he will enjoy it!

I {{{♥}}} random act of kindness....such good feelings....and soooooo good for the soul! ♥

 

I apologize for the not so good photos...It's past 1:00 am here and lighting is not the best at this time of night....

On my card, I also wanted to add a handwritten favorite quote that my hubby and I tell each other often....'Oggi + di ieri e meno di domani'   which means: 'Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow...' ♥

♥ I hope all the Dazzlers and the Diva enjoyed creating with identical kits! ♥

GOD BLESSINGS TO ALL!!
