Valentine's Day

I love – LOVE.

But I have never liked Valentine’s Day.

I have never liked the feeling of wanting more and getting less.

I’ve never liked hearing what other people got and feeling inferior.

So in my teens I stopped. I stopped celebrating a day – I don’t believe in.

Now I am free.

I can be happy when other people do celebrate. 

I appreciate the many ways that other people celebrate the day.  

I’m not above it or below it.

I just don’t have to be a part of it. 

It is a wonderful place to be.   

“A new command I give you; Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
