How did you choose to express your love today? For most areas of my life, I am highly organized and very deliberate, well planned and prepared. However, when it comes to Valentines Day, I am a last minute person, rushing around to get a card at the most. This year, I really wanted to bless my husband with a surprise gift. I shopped yesterday and arranged everything neatly in a bag. I was going to leave this morning early, go by his office and leave it on his desk....at least that was the plan.
Early this morning, after my workout, my husband reminded me that I had to take him to the mechanic's to retrieve the car (yes an unplanned expense). So I quickly adjusted my thinking, rushing to the car to hide the gift. I dropped him off, starting to run behind but knowing I could pull this off.
I pulled into the parking lot, jumped out, unlocked the office and hurried to turn off the alarm. I sprinted down the hall to his office, place the gift on his desk and returned to the alarm box. Just as I started to set the alarm and dart out of the office within the 30 seconds of delay, the alarm system went off, loud and clear. I had not entered the correct code and set the building alarm off. Knowing that the police would be on their way within minutes if I did not turn off the alarm I considered my options. I certainly did not have time to wait for the police and explain my actions, hoping to salvage my surprise or I would be late for work. My only option was to call Darrell, get the right code to shut off the alarm, spoiling my surprise. So sadly, I called, confessed my actions and got the code, shutting off the alarm just as the security company called for a password. So much for pulling off a special surprise, actually I guess it was a surprise.....
I hope that someone has told you today that they love you, value you, need you. Here is an additional love song for you!!!!! Have a blessed evening.
