Today is just another day for some - and this year it's a Monday. For others it's a celebration of the romantic kind of love. For others it's a reminder of that which is lacking in their lives.
I don't know what it is for you, but Valentine's Day in my 6th grade year of school many years ago was a day where four beautiful heart-shaped candy boxes were sitting on my desk when I arrived. Only one of them allowed me to know who'd given it to me. Very thoughtful young guys I never got to thank except for one. Funny what we remember . . .
I wish you a good day, a beautiful romantic day, and certainly not one which reminds you of what you don't have - or even what you don't want.
Happy February 14th!
Father, you are Love, the kind we humans can't truly imagine. From you it's pure and defined in ways our sinful hearts can never fully understand. Help us to learn what we can while we're here so we can share the best part of it - or try to. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
