Happy Valentine’s Day!
I know people who love Valentine’s Day, and I know people who don’t like this holiday at all.
No matter where you stand on the debate — love it, hate it — I hope that you experience a moment of feeling loved today. Either a moment where someone expresses their love for you out loud with three little words: “I love you,” or an equally precious moment when someone wraps their arms around you and hugs some love into you. I also hope you hear the whisper of our Creator-God as He tells you that He loves you with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3) And may you also find an opportunity to show love to someone else today.
Sometimes love is all “lights, camera, action” — or is that more “chocolate, flowers, and a Hallmark card”? And sometimes love is quiet — and even more potent. Like the moment captured in the photo above. My GRANDgirl #1 came up to my daughter, CJ, and asked, “You snuggle me?” And CJ complied, complete with a special soft blanket and favorite stuffed animal. No words needed to express love between the two of them.
Sometimes love is grand … and sometimes, sometimes, love is as simple, and as powerful, as a hug.
In Your Words: How would you finish this sentence: Love is ___________________.

I LOVE that dear photo and all it conveys, and you know I totally agree with that great quote. I’ll complete your sentence by saying, “Love is unspoken but smiling understanding.” Happy Valentine’s Day to a close friend I HIGHLY value and appreciate.

Dee: I treasure the moment — and the love — captured in that photo of CJ and her little niece. And yes, it is wonderful when love can be unspoken understanding between two people. <3
Love is action, sometimes quiet, other times loud. Love the photo, too. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Pat! Yes, love is action — and love can be quiet or loud, as the need demands. Knowing what that is … that’s a form of love, too.
