The Valentine Holder of JOY

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!  Many of us celebrated over the weekend with cards, a good meal, candy or gifts. But today---February 14th---is the day that's set aside to express our love to those "SPECIAL" people in our lives.  I believe that Valentine's Day is one of the most fun days of the year for primary and elementary school children.  They LOVE getting cards from each other and exchanging tokens of "love".

Let's not forget that we each have our very own Valentine "holder" right at our fingertips each day!  It's filled with love notes and expressions of affection from our Heavenly Father!  THE HOLY BIBLE holds God's special love letters to us, reminding us that we are His FAVORITE Valentine!  He loved you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die for you!  Now that's love...and extravagant love!

So as you tell your spouse, your children, your grandchildren, your parents or your special friends Happy Valentine's day, please pause to thank the Giver of Love for all He has done for us.  When you have a grateful heart, you'll find your heart is JOYful, too!  So, praise the Lord and shout with JOY!
