Usually, Lent starts in February, but not this year. Lent falls in March this year, leaving February with many other holidays and observances. Chief of which is Valentine's Day. I confess that Valentine's Day has not always been my favorite holiday. It can quickly become a Hallmark holiday for some of us, and if you don't have a special someone in your life, it feels somehow incomplete. But let's entertain the idea that Valentine's Day isn't reserved only for romantic love.
What if we remember that in our beliefs, there is a larger category of love that we can explore as we celebrate a month to honor and value love? Romantic love, family love, and love of country or community all have a place in our hearts. Let's also consider friendship as a type of love. We can also consider kindness and generosity as displays of love for others. We can also consider the way we treat ourselves as a form of love for the life we have. Be kind to yourself this month. Last, but not least, we must consider divine love- agape- as we count all the ways we can celebrate love this Valentine's Day or month.
Consider the many ways you can show your love. Not just to that special person, in your life but to show off that your life and heart are shaped by the love that God gives us all. A love wide enough to embrace the world. Consid-er volunteering in the community, acting generously and compassionately, and even giving a friendly handshake or a hug as ways to celebrate the gift of love this year.
May God bless us all with hearts prepared to love and be loved. Amen.
Colossians 3:14
"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
