Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13

But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. -Matthew 9:36

Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” – Mark 1:23

What is your favorite love story?
The Bible is filled with amazing passages and scriptures that describe God’s love. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so here are some of the best Valentines that God has for you today.
Read the full list HERE.
While the U.S. has its own special brand of both heartfelt and commercialized Valentine’s celebrations, it is not the only country to devote at least a day to celebrate love. Some countries have a fresh take on February 14th while others have an entirely different day marked on their calendars. Regardless, there are a lot of cool and unique ways that people around the world express their love, so the Morning Thing decided to take a look at some of them.
Perhaps this list will give you some new ideas for how to celebrate Valentine’s this day. How about giving your wife an intricately carved love-spoon? Try treating your husband to a marzipan figurine instead of chocolate. Want to feel brave at school? Go ahead and pin your crush’s name to your sleeve. The options are varied and plentiful. You can check out the entire list HERE.
Regardless of what you do or how you do it, be sure to show love to the people in your life this year- and not just romantic love! Use this time to show appreciation for your friends and family, as well as the romantic relationship in your life if you have one. You don’t have to be in a relationship to show love!

Today is National Girls and Women in Sports day, which has the purpose of encouraging young women to get involved in athletics and persevere in them, as well as reminding the rest of us to be supportive of the girls in our lives who want to try out a sport. In honor of this day, and with the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics just days away, The Morning Thing wanted to share a special conversation that WNZR’s own Dylan Elliot had with Leah Amico. Leah is a 3-time Olympic Gold Medalist with USA Softball, a 3-time National Champion at the University of Arizona, 3-time 1st Team All-American, and 3-Time 1st Team Academic All-American. In addition, she still holds the record for the highest batting average at the Women’s College World Series: .750, 9 for 12. She is an author, motivational speaker, and college softball analyst for ESPN and Westwood One Radio.
In this conversation, Leah shares how she became interested in sports and passionate about softball, what it was like to win three gold medals, and what her career has looked like since. You can hear the entire conversation HERE.
You can also hear Leah speak in person this weekend at the Newark Church of the Nazarene, 200 S. Williams Street in Newark. She will be speaking this Saturday at 4:00. The event is free to attend!
