"Valentines Day"...
I asked someone yesterday 'So what are you doing tomorrow for valentines?' to which I got the reply, 'I can't celebrate valentines day cause I don't have anyone'.
I was a little worried if I also, being someone-less, was doomed to be left out of this day.
I googled valentines day definitions, and I got every definition from a day for romantic lovers to exchange gifts, to celebration of those you love, to Saints, and martyrs, and even something about wolves and pagans and yadayadayada.
So what is valentines day? And what makes it different from any other day?
I DON'T KNOW!
But I'll tell you what I do know--whether I can celebrate valentines day or not, I can celebrate love today and when I celebrate love I celebrate God and when I celebrate God I find myself filled with thankfulness for life, for love, and for you! I'm thankful for the love of family, for the love of friends, for the love of strangers, for the countless forms of love that make life a precious priceless richly blessed and splendid place.
So CHEERS to another wonderful day where love surrounds us all. Long Live Love!!
I love you!...and Happy Valentines Day.
