What is a Valentine?

I will have to say this Valentine has got me. I do not want to see the balloons or the cards or sweets. Someone asked me what I was doing for my girls, I replied I get divorced that week. As I think about it though it is sweet when you see a truly wonderful couple buy a card or touch others lives. that is true love I can tell you of a few couples I admire. Mike and LeaAnn they are honest and hugely giving people, Mike and Nancy love my girls immensely, Sue and John always have a good word to say, My mum at times sends hugs down the phone and Sharon well just draws love in her pictures her mum Marina knew what love was she opened up her home in so many ways. Others have shown love to me Fran, Carla and their family, Eunice and Regina to name a few. But as I think of what Valentines is and a woman's comment today of how some parents would not let their children celebrate Valentines religious rubbish she called it. I had to say a prayer. What greater Valentine do I have this year than a Man who died on a cross for me he shed his blood his heart beat and died for me. I maybe not receiving a card from anyone but I have indeed got the very best Valentine a heart that died for me. No religious rubbish Mam just religious truth.
So if you are feeling a little awkward about Valentine remember the good people in your life and remember that there is one and one true Valentine.
Please have a cup of tea with me today. XX
