Valentine's Day-a day filled with quite a lot of expectations I would say. Maybe you're a man who feels pressure to try to think of creative ways to tell your wife or special someone that you love her. Maybe you're a woman who compares yourself to those around you and would love to be surprised by your husband or loved one. Or maybe you don't care either way, because you celebrate your loved one EVERY day!
Whatever role you identify with, here's a twist on the holiday for you. Go ahead and celebrate-but celebrate in a way that focuses on the relationships God has put in your life to enrich it and ultimately to teach you more about His character. Because that's why we have each other, isn't it? Our relationships, particularly that of a loving spouse, put us a little closer to understanding this all encompassing love God has for us. And that's about as close to understanding it as we're going to get, folks.
And one more thing. Share that news with your kids, whether they are young or old! Because the one true love of our life is our Savior. And until they understand that, their expectations for their relationships (and this holiday!) will fall short.
So celebrate the day by showing thanks for the relationships you have. And Happy Valentine's Day!
