I Love Valentines Day
Tomorrow is Valentines Day well actually some parts of the world it already is but I wanted to share a story about a different way to spend this holiday.
When you hear "Valentines Day" most people think of getting flowers, chocolates in the shapes of hearts, greeting cards with romantic messages, and spending an evening with your lover.
I enjoy those things too but I like to think about how I can use this day to spread a different kind of love.
The word love has many means for example "I love pizza" "I love puppies" "I love my boyfriend" it can also mean "I love you.... I really care about you."
Being kind hearted and showing love to everyone I meet is what I like to think is my goal and purpose for life, what are we put on this earth for if we do not share kindness and compassion, what can it hurt?
So today I am encouraging my friends and everyone else who wants to try to show "love" to at least one person.
Sit with the lonely kid at lunch today.
Say please and thank you more than is necessary.
Forgive someone who has hurt you.
Visit an elderly neighbor.
Give a friend a call to see how they are doing.
Write a handwritten note to someone you haven't seen in a long time.
If you see someone who is struggling both physically or emotionally, lend a helping hand or listening ear.
Stopping your own busy life for just a minute to notice a stranger and think about them counts.
Even in online worlds on EP for example, instead of commenting or answering with a response that could be potentially rude or hurtfull try to spread some encouragement or even be an inspiration and share your own story.
"And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love". 1 Corinthians 13:13
Thank you for reading, have a great day and why not make someone elses day by showing some love :)
