VDAY&L0VE.

For whatever reason, I felt led to blog about love tonight. I don't think I've mentioned this in any other blog, so I guess I'll put it in this one. I believe it was Friday? Or Thursday, I felt led to stop watching Degrassi every night after 6:00, and spend more time with God. So, I have. Every night I pray and worship, and God usually leads me to blog about something ... and tonight, He told me "Valentines Day. Love. Why you like/what you think about Valentines Day". Alrighty ...





I started thinking about Valentines Day, and came to the conclusion that I didn't really know the true meaning of it. So I Googled / Wikid / Answered the question, and these are the responses I got:



Answers.com-
To celebrate love. To share a day where you devote your love to people who you care for, you pamper each other and gives ou a reason to be happy together for a day.



Wiki.com-
St. Valentine, February 14, 1414. Wrote love letters, played a harp, "melted peoples haearts". Dressed in red/white. Had beautiful wings. Handed out chocolates, red roses, and love letters.



Google definition-
Originally a reliious day to honor St. Valentine. Day for couples to exchange chocolates. A day to exchange tokens of affection.




Now, I have no problem with couples celebrating Valentines Day: I used to LOVE celebrating valentines day! But of course, now that I'm single, I have no one to spend it with ... besides God.



The Wiki response really kinda clued me in. The description of St. Valentine made me think of God. Wrote love letters (Psalms), Played a harp (I dont think Jesus necessarily played a harp, but the sound of His voice itself was beautiful), melted peoples hearts (He melts my heart daily!), dressed in red/white (holy, pure, and blameless; yet drenched in blood for our sake), had beautiful wings. I dont know about yall, but this truly reminds me of the King of Kings ... and I think I'm gonna spend my Valentines Day this year "sharing the day devoting my love to the person who I truly care for", according to Answers.com.





So what do I think about Valentines Day? I think Valentines Day can be a super romantic and cute day, for couples. But I can also see it as a day to worship God, and devote some time to Him. Besides, He is love.
