The Best Valentine Ever

I read a love story last night.  It was quite different from the smut novels I read in college or even the “Christian” romance of my high school years (interspersed between reads of Frank Peretti and Stephen King).  Last night’s story left me hopeful and encouraged!  The servant so faithful and God-fearing, the maiden seemingly raised for the moment, willing to follow God right into a man’s arms.  It was a story of praise and thanks and left me praising and thanking as well — just as a good story should! — and is layered with meaning for the one lingers.  Of course after reading it to my young daughter, hoping she will be like the maiden some day, well, she just thought the nose ring was cool.  I suppose give it some time, eh?

It’s in there for you to read too — Genesis 24.  God’s Word, the best Valentine ever.
