This week of course is one of love, culminating with St. Valentine's Day. During most commercialized holidays, many industries make a lot of money. For this holiday, it's the candy, flower, card restaurant, spa, and hotel corporations and companies that are expected to make a killing.
A killing all in the name of love.
Love is a beautiful thing, and being in love and expressing these emotions are wonderful. However, why must we ONLY do this once, or even a few times a year? If you love someone or something, some sort of gesture should be made everyday.
I will start with Christians and loving the Lord. Most who know me know how I cannot stand how hype church folks get after a certain Sunday service, then I don't see nor hear them make further mention of God or Jesus until the next week. I throw Matthew 6:5-8 at them. That verse can actually be a good theme for this entire blurb, especially my next point.
This Valentine's, you will see all sorts of flowers, candies and gifts delivered to workplaces and schools nationwide. I have two quips here: why make that type of gesture when you are going to see them that evening?, and why don't you do this regularly? It seems too many reserve this for Valentine's, birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion.
Next is loving your fellow person. This could be your parents, children, other family members, friends, and such. We don't show or send our affection often enough. Whenever me and my circle of friends or family get together, we always express this, as we want to make every moment count.
Therefore, whatever you do on this holiday of love, make it count and don't use the day as an excuse to do something special. Let us endeavor to do this everyday, even with some simple words. Now that's love.
