I have always been a bit of a "scrooge" about Valentines Day. I never really saw the reason for celebrating it. Last year was the first year I really put up decorations, and that was mainly for my daughters birthday (she was born on the 16th).
This year I decided that love is always a reason to celebrate. So for the month leading up to Valentines Day I am going to go through 1 Corinthians 13 with myself, and my children and talk about the real meaning of love.
I also started putting some little decorations up around my house. Last spring I found a cute Easter tree at Hobby Lobby. I took the eggs off and added some cute heart conversation ornaments to it.
By my back door I hung a little strand of hearts I made. I got the inspiration from pinterest and just used some scrapbooking paper I can laying aroudnd.
My front two windows are decorated with a heart garland I put together last year.
My son wrote a poem a few weeks ago that ties in what I am feeling about this season so well.
"Love is an important thing.
It makes us want to sing.
God loves us from above
So the most important thing is love."
