We have all just experienced Valentine's Day. Mine was very interesting. My husband and I waited until early evening to exchange our gifts. I presented him with my "love card" and chocolate heart, and then not-so-patiently waited for him to present me with his expressions of love.
After a little while, I started wondering if he had gotten me anything at all. I was sitting on the couch in our living room with my back to the doorway. The next thing I knew, he came up behind me and was dumping candy on my head!! At first I was offended, feeling kind of like someone had thrown water in my face. Feeling very aggravated, I asked him what he was doing! He said, "I'm showering you with kisses!"
Immediately, his explanation put the whole situation into perspective for me. The candy he was "dumping" on my head was Hershey Kisses. . . . he was showering me with Hershey Kisses!!! My attitude about the whole experience instantly changed from feeling offended to feeling that my husband was the most romantic man on earth!
As I look back on that experience, I have begun to be exceedingly thankful that God looks beyond my actions and behaviors to what the motivating factor is in my heart, what the heart meaning is. I am thankful that God knows my heart and the love that I have inside even when at times I don't express it very effectively!
