It's Valentine's Day... Oh Boy...

Well, here we are at Valentine's Day 2014.

I remember when I was younger and hated this day. I did for a long time, up until just recently. I used to cry every Valentine's Day.  My mother, and maybe even my father, used to bring home a rose and a little box of chocolates for me.  Sometimes I even got a card with a personal message or prayer inside also. I always said thank you to my mother; however, I also always said," but it's not the same." She always knew what I meant. I wanted a boy/guy to give me something on Valentine's Day, but it never ceased to surprise me that I received nothing, ever. It never failed, I would come home from school sad and ready to lock myself in my room and cry, while writing and/or drawing in my journal/diary. To be honest, I still have those journals.

Things changed recently, though, Thank God.

Now, I love Valentine's Day, not more than Christmas though... I wonder why my thoughts and feelings changed all of a sudden. I think it all changed because I decided that I can just do things for others. It makes me feel so good to give people a little happiness and love on this day, just to see their smile. Little things to me mean the most anyway. I think it all has a lot to do with the fact that I truly gave my thoughts and feelings to my God like never before, just a few months ago. I believe that he has been working on me quite a bit, and the fact that I have unknowingly changes my view of even just Valentine's Day, proves to me that he has been doing as he said; and molding me to be the Woman Of God that he intends for me to be. Thank you, Jesus, for all of that.

I hope everyone has the best Valentine's Day ever this year, whether you go out or stay home. Please just remember that the love we get from others and/or ourselves, does not even compare to the Love God Has for each and everyone of us. Take care, Be safe, and God Bless always.
