Valentine's day

So today is Valentine's day... and I don't have a valentine... BUT I am perfectly okay with that. Valentine's day should not only be about a significant other, but love in general. Spending time with those that you care about and letting them know that you are there for them, not only on a holiday, but on every day. So if we are to look at this day in that aspect, I have too many valentines to count. I'll include my family, friends, roommates, etc. that is all I really need, isn't it?


1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails ..




If love never fails, then why are we not showing more of it, myself included. Love should not only be for the romantic, mushy, valentine's day couples, but also for that homeless man that you pass every day on your way to work. Or that little kid that is in your classroom that drives you crazy or that family member who everyone thinks is the outcast... What about them? They are people too and God sees them the exact same way that he sees each one of us... Have you ever stopped to think about how much love you show daily, whether it is just a smile or wave... You could have changed a person's day by just smiling at them. Remember that love is not set aside for certain people, but it is for everyone. 

So go out there and show a little love to someone today. You may change their mind about how they show love. Love changes things... Love completes life.
