Good Morning, God
Ah, the smell of roses and chocolate, the looks of the color red and lace and the thoughts of romance are all in the air this morning as we awaken to St. Valentine's Day.
Over the years, Lord, this day has taken on a life of its own. Some say the day goes clear back to 270 A.D. Some say the day is a pagan festival taken over and made more into a Christian festival.
However this celebration of February 14th as St. Valentine's Day began, it is a good day to think about and celebrate "love". We most often look at the way we celebrate this love as a romantic love, a love between two people linked by a warm attraction. We also extend our love to family members and close friends. Usually, we celebrate love by the way we feel for others.
However, Lord, you give us a high ideal for love when you said "Greater love has no one that this - "that he or she gives up their own life so that another person may live and have life". Lord, make us strong enough to give up our own life for others today.
In Jesus name, Amen
