It is hard to believe that we are well on our way to Valentine’s Day! Last year I posted on January 31st about “LOVE is a Verb” . I never would have anticipated what would occur less than 24 hours later, that would totally consume my life, Trish’s life, and our family’s lives for the next year. On February 1st last year, we lost my father-in-law { Trish’s father } very suddenly and very unexpectedly.
“Pop” { as my daughter named him, as the first born grandchild } was seemingly healthy and young. His death has stretched us to places we never thought we could or would go. We have walked day by day, relying on God and trusting in His plan…but it has not been easy.
Faith, Hope, Love…without these life can be overwhelming. Just as I have tried to teach my children about love { 1 Cor. 13:4-8 and Matt.22:36-39}...this year has also been about faith { Heb. 11:1 and 2 Cor. 5:7 } and hope {Jer.29:11 and Psalm 34:18}.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to remember those three things… faith, hope, and love and to have a little reminder for our family each day…
As we enter the Valentine season, Trish and I hope that you and your family can hold each other tight, and remember these three things…

I love the clean look you’ve created with these! Adorable!
these are adorable! I love the way they look. The Faith, Hope, and Love hearts are a great touch as well!
Love it. I finally after a few months of continuing to look have found all 3 sizes of the candle sticks. Can’t wait to get the other parts and put them together! Thanks for the ideas! Of course I pinned it!

Love love love!!
So cute! My boys would be happy with the pop of blue as they are not too impressed with all of the pink I have been using for my Valentine’s projects! The candy in there is pretty cute too – a Valentine’s Day version of candy corn! That would be a great candy for me to have around here as I love the look of it but not the taste! Thanks so much for linking up to The Creative Spark. I’ll be featuring this on my Facebook page. have a great weekend!

Where did you find the finials for the jar tops? I’ve searched my local craft stores unsuccessfully. Thanks!!
How do you make the lids or where do you buy the lids?
What did you use for the lettering on the hearts?
I cannot find these jars. Do you have a link to a website I can buy them from?
