love is a special occasion.

a pet peeve of mine is when people complain about valentines day.
saying things like "shouldn't you show love everyday, not just on a holiday"
OR
"I am single so valentines day is going to be terrible."

first of all,
yes you should show love everyday.
but, we also should celebrate the fact that Jesus was born everyday but you have no problem with Christmas...
and we should rejoice in the fact that He died to save us all the time but you take part in Easter...
and we should be thankful for those who gave us freedom, independence, and this wonderful country 24/7 yet we honor veterans day, memorial day, and the fourth of july.

secondly,
love has many forms... it's not just romance.
so it really doesn't matter if you are single, dating, engaged, married, or some other place in your life there is someone you can show love to and someone loves you.
friends, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, finances, siblings, husbands, wifes, extended family, etc all deserve your love and its nice to just have a special reminder every february.

and of course Gods love surpasses all the others.

so when I say I love valentines day I am not saying that this is the only day to show your love to people or that it may not be with a significant other...
I'm just saying I love love.

and thats enough for me to pay special attention to it.
