I plan on giving my hubby a gift for Valentine's Day, and he'll give me one, too. TV commercials suggest giving pajamas, teddy bears, and the usual chocolates and/or flowers. All of those are just fine, but why limit "it" to one day a year? I mean, shouldn't we demonstrate our love in ways other than just candy, flowers, or the like? True love is with you at your worst moment, worst illness, worst event, and even your worst behavior. There isn't anything superficial about true love.
Do you know the best Valentine's Day gift I ever received? Decades ago when my hubby was in college, we didn't have money to buy each other anything for Valentine's Day. For my present, he washed, waxed, and detailed our one car for me. He spent hours doing that, and it was done out of love.
I always want to display that kind of love to my family and friends. I fail sometimes, as we all do, but what a wonderful example the Bible gives us to follow! I wish each of you a Valentine's day filled with blessings, joy, and fulfillment.
