Valentines Day I am sure is hard or at least not very fun for people who do not have a significant other or even for people who can not afford to buy their sweety gifts (all the stuff the world has led us to believe is a must - jewelry, candy, flowers, etc.) Knowing my husband loves me with all his heart, having his hand to hold, being blessed with his presence and support - that is my gift! Anything that he could buy me will one day fade or be be gone. I'm not saying presents are not nice but Valentines Day should not turn into a day of pressure, worry or cause a financial burden :)
The greatest Valentine? It is this - Thank you Lord that I am yours and you are mine! God has my heart and he holds me in the palm of his hand! Today I contemplate how much I love my Lord, my husband, family & friends :-)
What a great day to meditate on these verses - HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
