Happy Valentine's Day!

We send our love to all of you from Budapest! In Hungary,Valentine's Day is a holiday that is gaining a little more in importance each year. When we were first here in Hungary, we saw very few things in the stores that advertised for Valentine's Day. Now, 4 years later, we see a lot more. Flower shops have their front windows decorated with balloons and red roses. Grocery stores have large stack-outs of heart shaped boxes filled with chocolates. And even the restaurants are getting in on the act by advertising specials like free desserts and special musical entertainment. So, more Hungarians understand us when we say Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you have someone to tell you today that they love you. And hope you have someone to say "I love you" to. But even more important for us to know and be joyful over is that God loves us! In a real, eternal way, He loves us. And that's something to be celebrated everyday. Celebrate with us and thank Him for His love!
