Thoughts on Valentine's Day

I got this from an officemate earlier this morning via an IP Broadcast. Hope you folks get something out of it:

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." (John 15:12)

Valentine's Day certainly isn't what it used to be. I doubt [that] you spent the night before filling out cards like you did when you [were] in grade school. But that shouldn't keep you from giving a gift of love.

You can give flowers to your child's teacher. Bake cookies and share them with friends. Send a card to a relative you haven't seen for a long time. Cook a favorite meal for your husband. And be sure to tell God how much you love Him, too.

Yes, there are lots of ways you can demonstrate love. You don't have to spend a lot of money. And, frankly, you don't have to wait until Valentine's Day to do it.

I love the saying, "You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving." Give a gift of love today.

Happy Valentine's Day!
