About a month or so ago I started taking pictures of things I saw that were either heart related or Love related. Most of these things are around me all the time. I really had not realized that I had a lot of stuff in my own home or surroundings that fell into this category.
As I noticed that it was everywhere around me…I thought…you know, that is the way it is supposed to be. Love should be in everything we do.
I remember as a young teenager, I could hardly wait to get one of those BIG RED Heart Shaped boxes of candy! I thought it would be the greatest. They are soooo pretty, and symbolized love. Of course flowers did too. It was so picture perfect.
But as I got older I found that I really didn’t care for the kind of candy that came in the box. It was just pretty on the outside. They have come a long way in that department. You can now get some really good candy in those heart boxes. Still, if you get a showing of love on just one day out of the year….then it is just that… a show.
Really we should see love and show love all year long. In everything we do and in everything we say. Now that is just not so easy to do. Yet, if we start little by little, it will begin to come more naturally. Funny thing is, you will see that you are also receiving more love than you really even knew.
There are some people who do not have a special person in their lives…at least not right now. Or maybe they have someone, but they do not feel loved. We can show that love to people we come across everyday. It doesn’t have to be just a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband.
Open a door for someone, let someone go ahead of you in the store line. Really listen to someone who is talking to you. Take a few minutes to visit someone. Put a card in the mail to someone who is on your mind. Tell someone they look nice today. SMILE…it is contagious!
Yesterday I mentioned I Corinthians 13….the love chapter…in the 13th verse it says….And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
LOVE is great….Be sure you tell someone you LOVE them today…..and show it by being kind. Let us not just show it today..on Valentines day…but everyday.
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
