So I have to admit Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays! Who am I kidding.... every holiday is my favorite. But really I have always been a fan of Valentine's day. Sure lots of people say it's a made up holiday but I think it is one of the sweetest cause it's all about love. Loving people and reminding them that they are special to you and you appreciate them and it is a whole day set apart for that.
I remember as a little girl waking up on Valentine's Day and running down the stairs to find a card, small box of chocolate, and a cute Valentine's day shirt to wear to school that day. My parents way of saying we love you and will always be here for you even when you have a valentine of your own. I LOVE that my parents made sure to make a point to say I love you to us on a day that lots of people see as just for lovers. It simply isn't that. It's a day to express love to those around you and to wear all the pink and red you want!
So today I hope you all enjoy celebrating the greatest gift God has given us. To love and be loved.
Matthew 22:37-39 "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
So sweet, KellEy! My parents also used to do that for us, candy and something special on Valentine's Day with a card. I know it always made me feel special and I plan to do the same with our kiddos someday.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you had some great words here! I always loved Valentine's Day at home growing up. It was never about having a significant other, just about showing others love. Definitely something I want to pass on to my kiddos. Hope you're having an awesome week! I can't remember if I said this before or not, but HOW COOL that was share an anniversary!?!
