Nothing Says “I Love You” Like a Hedgehog

Introduction

Each year on Valentine’s Day I pick out a little figurine, stuffed animal or trinket to give my wife.  This year’s model, a hedgehog.

For the first time ever my daughter accompanied me when I went out to find that perfect “I love you” item.

Yesterday morning, when I presented my 2014 model, my daughter asked her mother how many of these items had she kept.  After she asked I thought, good question, how many are still in existence?  After all we are talking about 28 Valentine’s Day items.

The Big Reveal

When I returned from work yesterday I was surprised to find, all across the living room table, almost every single item dating back to 1986.  I had no idea she had kept them.  It turns out that she had a couple items stolen off her desk years ago so that’s why “almost” had to be included.

One Favorite

Front and center you will see a candle in the shape of a kangaroo.  This is no ordinary kangaroo, this one is pregnant.  That was 1992, the year we were expecting our first child.

Final Thoughts

I enjoyed seeing these items again.  As you can see God has granted us many Valentine’s Day celebrations.

As I looked at my little tokens of love I was reminded of the greatest token of love ever given, the cross.

Until Night,

A Servant
