V-Day

Oh - has it come round again...? I think as my age increases, my lukewarm regard for Valentine's Day decreases. Since coming to the UK,  I look forward to the few days after it when the chocolates are reduced. I've never agreed with the price of flowers going up for one day and the expectation put on guys to buy them. One day where the expression of love is expected and acceptable. 

Which is fine really, but sad if so much hangs on the outcome of one day. What matters so much more are daily acts of Love - flowers whenever just because, making cups of tea, checking the tyre pressure, dealing with the big spiders (even with a mild fear of spiders), making up after an argument, saying sorry, laughing over nothing...

I guess V-day is the man-made chosen day when ♡ is highlighted, but all the other days of the year is making sure that ♡ is filled ❤.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Cor 13:4-8
