How did you spend your Day of Love?

Yes, I know Valentine’s Day has been commercialized, but  it is still a day to celebrate LOVE.  I don’t just mean the romantic feeling of love but fact that we are all made from love, God’s love.  We are love to the very core. It is  part of our natural state.

However, sometimes when we let our fears, anger, jealousy, or pride pull us away from that natural state, it can get in the way of our love for others and even ourselves. So, although the day was forced upon you,  perhaps  you took advantage of it as a reason to  dip into your heart and spread your love.  What happened?  How did you feel?

A goal for me is to try to go through my days with a Valentine frame of mind and  let go of the things that can cloud my love.  Great things can happen in your own heart and the heart of others when you spread it around 🙂
