We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19
Welcome to National Hallmark Card, Zales Jewelry, and 1800FLOWERS Day. As my younger son used to call it ‘Singles Awareness Day’. If married you should be kind and serve your spouse every day not just on this day of designated, mandatory, manmade love. Do the unexpected and make your other half drop over from sheer shock.
Suggestions men: do the dishes, clean the toilet, vacuum the carpet, mop the floor, change the beds, do laundry, buy flowers for no reason, go to dinner for no reason and get a babysitter. For ladies: wash his truck, organize his closet, make his favorite supper, surprise him with tickets to Monster Truck rally and take ear plugs. It is time you love when love is not expected. Love because Jesus’ loved. It does not always have to be glamorous or romantic. Love can be sheer service to another.
So on this ‘day of love’ what can you do to show love to those around you?
PRAYER: Love truly does lift us higher than we have gone before. Whenever I feel angry or upset help me cast down that thinking and choose to love regardless. May no unkind thoughts enter my head or unkind words be released from my lips. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
