My daughter: Mummy, why are people giving big hearts and cards at school?
Mummy: Because they are saying that they love each other. It is a special day that people say I love you and sometimes they do something special.
Pause
My daughter: That is funny mummy. Shouldn’t we say I love you every day like we do?
Mummy: Exactly darling!
Big smile and lots of cuddles on the sofa followed!
All around today people celebrated love. What does the Bible say about love?
” Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
