this is for our friends and family.

so yes, you.  take time this day, not just to celebrate mushy love twitterpations between a man and woman, but also love for your parents, siblings, and family. some chocolates for your friends. sweet nothings to your grandparents.  handwritten poems to your children.  and most of all, celebrate the graciousness of love itself- one of the greatest mysteries graced to us! 

i also just want to take this time to share verses about the ultimate manifestation of LOVE.

john3:16

"for God so loved the world,
that he gave his only son,
that whoever believes in Him
will not perish
but have everlasting life."

mark12:30

"love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your mind,
and with all your strength."
