Valentines Day

This overly popular media frenzie is getting out of control. It originally began as a holiday in honor of Saint Valentine. One of the many saints. This is not the only day that is getting to commercial. There are many others and people are starting to like Valentines day not because of the religious background of it, but because its a way to get free candy from people. I for one like the thought of one day a year to get something from ones sweetheart. However, we cant just let it go too far. I know for a fact that it is very hard to see all this stuff on being with your sweetheart on V-Day (yes people do call it this) when you and he or she are miles apart. I have personally dealt with it today. I know that he loves me and if he were within 100 miles of here he would be with me, but he aint. And I am not gonna grudge this to other people there are many who are apart this Valentines Day and I know that I am not alone. We should not just look at this as a holiday, but as a time in which we can share the love that God has chosen to give us. Not just the ways we hear it now but as we are learning on Wednesday nights the Agape Fellowship that we all need to share in Christ.
