A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Even though Valentine's Day is not until tomorrow, we're starting a day early here - to give you two whole days to get your FR valentines delivered. :)

Also included here are vignettes of all four of our previous Valentine threads, so if you missed them before, or would like to re-visit any of them, just click on the link above each vignette.

Valentine's Day, 2006 ~ by GodBlessUSA

Since it's Valentine's day, I wanted to spotlight three happy marriages. I chose The Reagans, The Bushs and the Bushs. You can see by the way they look at each other, these couples have found their true love.

There Is Love

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: 1 John 4:7-11

Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. —1 Corinthians 13:13

Some time ago, I traded e-mail with a friend who was approaching 30 and had no serious love relationship in sight. He’s talented, fun, handsome, and a committed Christian. But so far, everything on his romantic horizon has turned out to be a mirage.

Several months earlier, he had been very enthusiastic about a young woman with whom he was corresponding. Two weeks before they were to meet for the first time, she was killed by a drunk driver. My friend made the trip to meet her family, experience their pain, and deal with his own sense of loss.

Today, many people will feel the absence of love as keenly as others celebrate its presence. In a world where love means so much, is there a word from the Lord for everyone, with or without a sweetheart?

First John 4 focuses not on being loved by another person, but on God’s love for us and our love for one another (vv.7-11). According to 1 Corinthians 13:7, this love "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." How is this possible? Because God’s love "has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit" (Rom. 5:5).

Long after the cards and flowers are forgotten, there is love from God’s heart to ours!

On this the day when we express
Undying love and faithfulness,
Let’s not forget that God above
Gave us His Son in perfect love.  —Hess

The more we understand God’s love for us, the more love we’ll show to others.

Bible in One Year:   Leviticus 15-16; Matthew 27:1-26
