So today is Valentines Day 2012, a day loved or hated by millions around the world. Its a day dedicated to showing your affection to that special someone that you "love. So what is love anyways?
In 1 Corinthians 13:4-10 it says "4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears"
So what do we know, love is patient, kind, protective , trustworthy? So wait, why on Valentines Day do people insist on showing off their affection. That affection should be evident every day of your life without every boasting it.
To me love is the kids on my upward basketball team talking about how happy they were to have a party today with their friends. Love is telling your best friend that there's something in their teeth. Love is waking up in the morning and grabing your phone to send a "Good morning beautiful txt", that is love. None of it is ever envious, ever easily angered, or ever proud. Love to me is living everyday to the fullest and going to bed knowing that everyone you love knows it every night, not just on February 14th.
So to the lovers Happy Valentines Day. To the singles Happy Singles Awareness Day. And to the broken heart'd it gets better, don't lose faith.
For me today I spent the day with my best friends and loved every second I got to be around them. Wherever you are, regardless of relationship status, I hope your day was full of love. I know mine was.
