31.1.12

Love Month.


God told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will. 
   Expect love, love, and more love! ~ Jeremiah 31:3 MSG


Valentine's Day. Ever since I was little, every year, my momma has gotten really into it, decorating the entire house and giving me sweet notes and little gifts all month. Her reason: Her mom, my grandma, was always super sweet to her on Valentine's Day, she says.

Every year without fail, she has hosted a tea party for me and my friends on Valentine's Day. We have dainty finger sandwiches and put our pinkies up as we sip our tea from my momma's antique teacups. It's precious. A precious memory for me. To me, Valentine's Day means home. Home. Family. Friends. English breakfast tea. Pink and red. Flowers that arrive at our doorstep every year. 2 dozen roses for my momma and 1 dozen for me, both from my daddy. Tradition.

I love Valentine's Day. 

My friends, however, don't love it so much. "It's depressing." "We're single." "Look at all the cute couples. I'm so pitiful." "I hate Valentine's Day.", they say. I try to tell them, It's a day of LOVE. 

Love for your family.
Love for your friends.
Love for God.
Love for your precious Savior.
Love.
God IS love.

His love is the only love that matters. This Love month, let's celebrate HIS love. It is enough.

Love and Joy,
         Emma 

*Look for more Love Day posts soon. Teehee... I've got some little joys up my sleeve, soon to be shared.
