Love does...doesn't it?

This is not going to be your normal Valentine's Day message. I find it extremely bizarre how we bottle up human virtues and celebrate them on one day a year.Today is Valentine’s Day, the day we set aside to express love. February 14th is a display of red, pink, hearts, cards, and flowers, a day where you feel obligated to show your love. Love is a irresistible fiery, flaming action of the heart, not an obligation.

Call me dumb, maybe even naïve, but seriously I do not understand how we evolved to this state of being. One day a year marked for love, what about the other 364 days of the year? This holds true to the other anniversaries as well. Thanksgiving, one day to give thanks, hog wash... shouldn’t we give thanks every day? Christmas, the annual day to celebrate the birth of Redemption, I believe we should celebrate the birth of our salvation each and every day. Same holds true with Easter, one day set apart to recognize that death has been conquered, that the grave does not hold us! Mother’s Day, Father’s day... one special day to give attention to those who chose to give us life. I don’t think so! Love, thanks, honor should be shared daily, given without thought! Should they not?

Love does, it has action. Love is passionate, tender, caring, love is endearment and deep affection. Love is sincere appreciation forged with bonds of never failing allegiance. Love is a powerful force, one that should not be contained and shared only one day a year! If you love someone give them recognition and devotion daily. Give, candy, hugs,pink and red hearts whenever love compels you too! Because Love does...
