Ron: Sometimes your Valentine balloon…pops.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: What do you do on Valentine’s if your love life isn’t anything to celebrate? Maybe you’d like to be dating but you aren’t, or you’re divorced, or you’re in an unhappy relationship. For you Valentine commercials, gifts, and flowers are a stark reminder of what could be. And it stings.

Isaiah 40 in the Bible reminds those who are hurting that God gives strength to the weary and power to the weak. Now, sometimes that means you soar like the eagle and run and not grow weary, but there are times when all you can do it barely walk and not faint. No, life’s not okay. But with the Creator by your side, you will continue to walk. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
