"Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself. " - Matthew 22: 37-39
Valentines' day is soon upon us and like many holidays it seems to really be centered around candy. Let's think outside the heart shaped box and brain storm on some candy free ways to spend the day...
1. Go to a coffee shop. Enjoy a decaf, tea or a smootie with your sweetie.
2. Take a hike and look for heart shaped things, such as leaves, twisted branches, forks in the path, etc.
3. Bake up some nice banana bread and take it to your neighbors.
4. Take a walk down town or to your local park and using side walk chalk spread some loving hearts and messages of peace and love on the sidewalks in your community (be sure to double check that this does not violate your local graffiti laws first ;))
5. Have the kids make cards and use the day as an excuse to stop by and see a friend or relative you've fallen out of touch with or someone who is lonely or recovering from illness.
Whatever you do, do it with love! :)
