Two Hearts As One

Dear friends,

Hello on this special day--Valentine's--when we remember those we love! No matter where they are, our love for each other invites us to an exchange of hearts. It is a sweet day of hearing a song in my heart from Psalm 27: 4-5, "One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life..."

Here is my valentine for you:

Sitting in the darkness
reflecting on Your love
A light breaks forth
as You whisper,
"The power of two hearts as one."

Valentine's...two hearts as one,
my heart is yours and yours is mine.
So where'er I go, you go, and
where'er you go, I go.  Ru 1:16

Two hearts becoming one,
so if one remains, so does the other.
And if one goes forth, the other too
ne'er to be separated.
In our eternal dwelling, in the heart
there is no time.

Though my eyes of flesh may not see you,
my eyes of faith becoming eyes of Love,
do see you.

Likewise, on this Valentine's Day,
Let's exchange our hearts, not just valentines
for I want to be one with you
forever.


May we all enter into the two most beautiful hearts today--Mary's Immaculate Heart and His Sacred Heart--two hearts beating as one--as we celebrate the love of our family and friends.

Grace & peace,
Sheila


p.s. The song I heard was "This Alone" by Tim Manion.
p.p.s. The verse I especially love is "For one day within your temple heals every day alone..."
