Hello lovely ones ![Wave :wave: :wave:](/smilies/wave.gif)
I wanted to share something with you all, particularly those of you who are single.
I know Valentine's Day is marketed as the day "for lovers" but I think Christians have to approach this from a different angle. While we can show love to those we've been blessed with on earth, we can not forget how much God loves us. HE loves us more than anybody on the planet ever could, and He's been better to us than we know how to be to ourselves. As such, I think we owe Him some quality time each day, especially Valentine's Day.
So I've decided to make a Valentine for God...I'm going to get some construction paper and make a card. In it, I'll list all of the wonderful things He's done for me and how grateful I am. I'm also going to list some of the things He's called me to do so that I'm reminded of my purpose. The "crafts" part of it may not be for everybody, but the point is that we make a point to spend time reflecting on God's love and our love for Him that day. I'm just a creative dork so the chance to do "arta & crafts" is one I seize.![Lol :lol: :lol:](/smilies/lol.gif)
I'm also planning a date with Him that day. For some reason, I'm always moved by God's spirit when I'm near large bodies of water...almost to the point of tears. So I'm planning to go to the beach and spend some time alone with God...reading the Bible, writing, and meditating. I'm so excited.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
There's no reason for single ladies to be walking around moping and looking pitiful on Valentine's Day. We've got SO much to be happy about.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
God bless!
