“For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.” John 3:11 (NIV)
Practically since the day after Christmas we have been inundated with Valentine’s Day products on the store shelves. We are reminded each year of this special day for lovers. Once again as with Christmas we can CHOOSE to put a non-commercial spin on this day.
v We can CHOOSE to show others kindness and mercy every day.
v We can CHOOSE to step outside our comfort zone and be nice to some sandpaper people in our lives.
v We can CHOOSE to smile at people as we pass them during our day.
v We can CHOOSE to ask an elderly or sickly neighbor if they need help getting groceries or a book from the library.
v We can CHOOSE to visit a neighbor we haven’t seen yet this winter.
You get the idea; Valentine’s Day should not be limited to a 24 hour period or to those in a romantic relationship. Let’s CHOOSE to make Valentine’s day a daily occurrence and spread our love to those beyond our inner circle.
