Valentine's Day Thoughts

So here we are a few days after Valentine’s Day. It’s a holiday that is spent by most finding a way to reconnect with their spouse or significant other. Most people do this by spending money on those that they love. Were you one of those people? If you’re a guy you possibly spent money on flowers, maybe a nice meal, or diet-busting candies of some sort. If you’re a lady you got one of those thoughtful things for him that if we admit it, will blow away many of the gifts the guys give to you.

You see, the holiday is about expressing your love for that someone special in your life. We don’t always find time to do that in our day to day lives. We get busy with work, kids, family commitments, and so much more. When you actually have time to do so the rest of the year, you’re often too tired or out of money, etc. So, having this holiday is very nice for all of us to make sure that we reconnect with our loved ones.

My question to you today is this - Do you do the same thing with God? Do you need to have holidays like Easter and Christmas on the calendar to remember to show Him how much you love and appreciate all that He has done for you? If telling your loved ones here on Earth is a smart thing to do on a daily basis, why not do the same with Him? This should be a part of your daily prayer life. Start by thanking God for all of the blessings in your life. You’ll be amazed at how many there are when you start looking for them. If you start reconnecting with Him daily as you do with your loved ones you’ll start to see that each day on the calendar is just another day of being a part of His kingdom – and how blessed you are to be a part of it every day….not just a couple times a year when it’s circled on the calendar for you.
