Valentine's Day




Today, what a fun day.  It's Valentine's Day.  Hated by some.  Loved by others.

Here's my take on the day.  

Somewhere in your town that you live in...
There is a child who hasn't had a hug today or in days past.
There is a child who hasn't been told they are loved yet today or in days past.
There is a widow who longs for their loved one, yet knows they won't see them this side of heaven.
There is married couple struggling to survive from all the pressures of life, longing to know love in their marriage again.
There is someone far from home who needs to be encouraged today.

There is someone everywhere that just needs to be loved.  Not just today, but everyday.  They needed it yesterday and they'll need it again tomorrow.  Then I'm reminded what love is.  Scripture says that "God is love..." 1 John 4:16.  If God is love and you belong to the Lord.  Then you ARE LOVED.  While we were yet sinners Christ showed His love for us by dying on the cross.  

You are only without love today if you refuse to open your eyes...

Sometimes the best part of love is showing it to others!
