Christine Royse Niles — Changing the world one word at a time

Love

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.

While most people focus on the candy and flowers, I prefer to focus on love.

This Valentine’s Day, I am grateful for the love that I receive every day from my amazing husband, Mark.  I am grateful for the love I have for my two amazing daughters.  I am grateful for the love of my extended family and friends.

But most of all, I’m grateful for the love of my Father, who forgives all the crazy stupid things I do every day, and loves me just the same.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

About Christine

I am a writer, a project manager, and a corporate refugee with a heart for orphans around the world. My two daughters were adopted from Ukraine at ages 12 and 14. I post about writing, chasing dreams, and making a difference in the world, and sometimes I share fun snippets of fiction in-progress.

  1. Great point! God’s love is the ultimate gift.
    However, I probably should still get my wife a card!

      Yes, yes you should. Although with the prices Hallmark is commanding for cards these days, maybe you’re better off making one!

    You’re the best Christine. You’re an awesome wife, Mom and friend!

      Awwww, no, YOU are the best! I fall short pretty much every day. Several times a day. I’m glad you’re there to pick me back up.
