Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Another day to wistfully hope that someone will express love toward us and fill the inner longing that we all have to be loved.

The sad thing about it is that there is no gift on earth that can meet that need. The only way to meet that need is to learn to love and accept yourself for who you are and how you are.

Tough job!

We seem to only see our own faults and weaknesses. We don’t see the good that exists in each of us. We don’t acknowledge our successes. We don’t see how loved we are by our friends and family. We just focus on the negatives.

And yet there is so much good within us. We are kind and considerate to others, give generously, make others laugh and have an abundance of wisdom to impart upon willing ears, and a heart full of love to share.

We need only to love ourselves and to see ourselves with the same compassion and mercy that we view others that we love.

So my Valentine wish to you today is that you will: be happy cherish who you are be merciful and kind to yourself realize what a gift you are to those who love you and love yourself just the way you are, for all that you are.

Because those around you, who know and love you, think you are the greatest and your loved ones know that there is no gift on earth equal to what you deserve. You deserve the best.

So may you have in your life an abundance of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Galatians 5:22

Happy Valentine’s Day
