Well, it's that day again. That 24 hour period when "love is in the air" and Cupid flies around with his bow and arrow, shooting down innocent pedestrians. Really, that cherub should be arrested for indecent exposure!
For a good handful of people, Valentine's Day is a day filled with romance, candle-light, even proposals and happy plans for the future. But for others, that class of singles, it can be a sad and lonely day. I am by default in the latter group, altho neither am I sad nor depressed in regards to my singleness. But this year, I received the most meaningful Valentine ever. It didn’t hold witty love-humor, no sappy soliloquy, or a poem perfect in rhyme and rhythm, but it held the most powerful and unforgettable message of the truest love I have ever received or ever shall receive. It merely read:
"I have loved you with an everlasting love." It was signed, "ALL my love-- Jesus."
Is there a greater expression of love that anyone could wish to receive on Valentine’s day? I know of none other. It is enough for me. It's all that I want. Happy Valentine's Day!

Amen!
Amen
You said it!
it's really all those not-so-single people who are missing out, because they're focus is slightly distorted by the romance... we get the non-stress, no-pressure, freedom in Christ, and He holds the future in His hands: The plans of the heart belong to a man, commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. A little Proverbs 16 for ya there... Someday, in God's timing, I will be so head over heels for someone, and it'll be great... but right now, God's showing me how to be head over heels in love with Him... and I love it...
Thank you! That was so encouraging! i guess I never really thought about it that way. That really opened my eyes! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Well I don't think you can arrest a cupid (at least his heart is in the right place, hehee), but I do know it's a lonely day! So let's make it even harder- wait tables all night for those fortunate ones who aren't lonely.
PREACH IT SISTER!
JOY
