Valentine

Valentine's Day used to be the holiday I despised because it seemed so silly. Of course the fact I never had a Valentine might have played into that idea. I still do think the holiday is silly. There are those romantics who believe in love always, and make the day seem special. There are those who were like me sitting saucily in sarcasm over a day just for couples. There are those who relish in any money scheming holiday. You know the ones who are head to toe in green on St. Patricks day, wear bunny ears on Easter, and even succumb to fuzzy sweaters with trees at Christmas.

So what's my point you ask? Love is many things to many people and if you are given a day to spread love I encourage you to do it. I hope that everyone loves someone, a mom, sister, son, uncle, lover, friend. If you don't have the traditional valentine, don't throw away the day as if it doesn't belong to you. God teaches us to love every day, for what is God, but love.
