Valentine Postmortem
Cupid's arrows were flying yesterday as millions of people gave flowers, cards, and chocolate to the people they love. But now that Valentine's Day is over, how will we show love? What can we do to show the love of Jesus to family, friends, and spouse, now that the day of the heart has passed? You and I experience life at the speed of light. If not that fast, at least at the speed of sound. As we hustle and scurry from activity to activity, let's take a breath and pause to think how we can love those we care about. I think one of the best ways to love is based on
Ephesians 5:16..."making the most of your time..." (New America Standard Bible). In today's hectic, fast paced culture, the way you spell love is T-I-M-E. Love is giving of your time drinking Starbucks coffee at the cafe with your friend. Love is giving your time with your family by eating together around a table. Love is spelled T-I-M-E when you go to bed with your spouse at the same moment. It is spending time with those you love that practically displays the love that is in your heart. So may you give "valentines" love not only on February 14th, but everyday the Lord gives you. These are the days my friend! Love!!!

Hey Train,
What a great message! Somestimes it can be so difficult to make time, even for the things we really care about. I am reminded of how short life is. Every person older than me always says that time will seem to go faster the older you get.
Isn't that the name of a song, or something. Not like the kind of music I listen to but I mean like old person music. Anyway a better band should do a remake or a rewrite or something. Maybe a band like Haste the Day or As I Lay Dying, or even Blindside.
Peace When Possible,
Steve
