It’s 10 days away. The most exciting holiday for some, and the most dreaded for others. The second group usually views it as a holiday created by Hallmark to sell greeting cards. Well it’s always been one of my favorites, and it is actually a legitimate holiday. I remember spending countless hours in elementary school preparing valentines for our class parties while my mom (or Super Room Mom as she’s more affectionately known as) baked cupcakes for my classmates. I took this seriously. Personal message on each one. Nerd from birth, I know.
Fast forward almost 15 years, and another Valentine’s Day is almost here. Instead of taking a cynical view, why not take the time to celebrate love? It’s the most powerful emotion we can feel and bestow. It doesn’t matter if you’re single, betrothed or utterly heartbroken. Boyfriend or bestie, friend or foe. Love. Deeply. And wear pink. :)
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
-1 Corinthians 13:3
