I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I know Valentine’s Day means different things to different people. Several people in our lives lost their Valentine’s this last year, so we know Valentine’s Day can be a tough day for some. I still don’t think it is a bad idea to set aside a day to celebrate love.
Cathy and I tend to keep Valentine’s Day low key. We may give each other cards, but mostly we just make sure we focus on each other through the day. Every year we bring up going out to a restaurant, but we always agree to go another day when it won’t be as busy. Cathy’s never had to accuse me of being too romantic!
For us, the simple things mean a lot. For example, these Valentine’s cards and tattoo stickers from my brother, who is almost as old as I am, made my Valentine’s Day! You can guess which one is Cathy’s and which one is mine.

However you celebrate it, Valentine’s Day is just a reminder that loving and being loved is important. But loving and being loved isn’t just important on Valentine’s Day. Every day is a good day to love and be loved. Today is a good day to show your love to someone, be it in a simple or big way. Tomorrow is a good day to show someone you love them. The next day too!

I like the card and its message so much I shared it with my class at Bethel as well as with you. It’s a nice reminder that we are loved every day. Just like those Valentine’s heart candies, God is saying, “BE MINE!” “4EVER LOVE!” “BE GOOD!”, “CALL ME!” God is not just telling us those things on February 14. God is telling us He loves us today. And tomorrow. And He loves us the next day too.
