All of the hoopla over Valentine’s Day reminds me of why I don’t really like it. Don’t get me wrong though, I would not turn down flowers or candy…lol. A friend told me just a few days ago that I love too hard. ..well maybe I do, because I think that when you love someone Valentine’s Day should be everyday. Valentine’s Day is on Monday when I ask you how I can help you during the week with tasks or honey-dos. Valentine’s Day is Tuesday when I leave a love note in your briefcase. It is on Wednesday when I cook you a big weekend style breakfast before you head off to work,. Valentine’s Day is Thursday when I have the shower running hot and your favorite 100% cotton T and bottoms laid out for you on the bed. Valentine’s Day is on Friday when I massage your shoulders after a hard days work. Valentine’s Day is on Saturday when we go our separate ways to run errands and visit with friends but make plans for a romantic Saturday evening together. Valentine’s Day is on Sunday when we serve the Lord in worship service together.
One day a year is not good enough to express an everyday kind of love. And, sometimes it is not the stuff, but rather the things are done to say, I support you, I am here, I love you….
