‘Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.’ ~Zora Neale Hurston

Tomorrow (Feb 14th) is St.Valentine’s Day. Some may say it’s a whole load of hype but if you take away all the trimmings, you are left with that precious gift called love. Valentine’s Day is not just limited to romantic love. It’s a day that celebrates every moment of love. If we say God is love then every moment of love brings with it an energy and uniqueness that can’t be found anywhere else. It is we ourselves who do our best to limit the effects of love. Life knocks us and hurts us from time to time and we retreat into our hiding places. But love invites us back out of our darkness and uncertainties. Like many gifts that are given to us each day we tend to take love for granted. But tomorrow at least is one day when we realize just how lucky we are to have love in our lives. It takes a while to build up love but only a second to loose it. You can’t buy it or even sell it. It is up to us to treasure this precious gift from God. Tomorrow St.Valentine’s Day could be a great day to start.
