Valentines

"The only love that lasts forever is God's perfect love"

I don't like Valentine's Day very much. I believe it to be a made up holiday, and when I see high school couples going all out with balloons and chocolates and teddy bears that are bigger than their actual girlfriend, I find it all a little extreme. Why should you treat somebody with love on one day of the year? You should love them everyday, so going all-out once a year to show "love" to somebody who (since you're in high school) you will probably break up with and end up not marrying (yes, yes, I understand, you're "in love"... or so you say) is a little ridiculous.

Now off my soap-box.

I have kinda been dreading Valentine's Day. I was supposed to be at Cho-Yeh this weekend for Midwinter-Madness, but that fell through. I'm spending the day doing homework and reading The Great Gatsby, how fun!! What an AWESOME Valentine's Day... right? *yay sarcasm*

But in church today I realized that Valentine's Day means more than just love for a boyfriend/girlfriend. No matter if you're in a relationship or not, we all have a God who loves us more than ANY boyfriend/girlfriend ever could. e-v-e-r.

God's love is perfect :)

Happy Valentine's Day!
