LOOKING AT LOVE ON VALENTINE'S DAY - THE BIG PICTURE

When we talk about Valentine's Day, we think of "love". In our minds, when we think of "love", we talk about that unexplainable fluttering of feelings that are coupled with romance, flowers, chocolates etc.

That's definitely one form of love! But the truth of love is looking at the big picture.
Love is around us in many, many forms.

Doesn't matter if you are married or dating, somehow, somewhere there is love in your life in some way.

For this Valentine's Day, maybe you would like to make a list of things that you would like to do for the people whom have loved you in one way of another.

• Sending a card to someone you haven't seen for a while, just to say hi.
• Rejoicing with someone who's had a good day!
• Taking time to think about God's care for you—and finding a way to show that care to someone else.
• Holding the door for someone at the mall or helping someone with a load of grocery
• Changing your plans to hang out with a friend who seems a little lonely lately.
• Forgiving a sibling or good friend who's hurt your feelings. Andwork hard to get the relationship back on track.
• Baking a cake or a dessert for someone whom have been nice.
• Respecting your parents, even when you disagree with them.
• Sending your friends a Valentine's Day gift (need not be expensive, just from the heart), so they know they are loved.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. - 1 John 3:1

BLESSED VALENTINE'S DAY!
