VALENTINE'S DAY
Did you find evidence of love on Valentine's Day? I hope that you did. That particular holiday is one opportunity to say "I Love You."
My question is, "What about the rest of the year?" It is nice to have a special day, but hopefully there is evidence of love throughout the year. Such evidence may not be as extravagant as red roses, chocolate, jewelry, or whatever. Lest we get our priorities all messed up, remember that the little, daily evidences of love may be worth more than a Valentine's Day present. A smile, an "I love you," a hand held, kind words, a walk together, a neck rub, a thoughtful act of kindness, a pat on the back, a hug, genuine appreciation, etc. The ordinary expressions of love are worth a lot. In every day we have opportunities to say/show "I love you." I hope you didn't forget Valentine's Day, but I also hope you don't forget the everyday opportunities as well.
As Christians we have evidence of our Father's love every day. Isn't it wonderful that we have his care each day and that it isn't shown only one day a year!
