When people think about
Valentine's Day, red roses, candy in heart- shaped boxes, and saccharine sweet
valentine's cards come to mind. But, like most holidays, there was a special
meaning or struggle that brought about the holida. While that original meaning
may have been lost over time, we have grown to believe that Valentine's Day is
about being in love.
Love has stages. So, Valentine's Day means different
things to different people at different stages of their lives.
For little kids, Valentine's Day is about
friendship. Cards and candies are given to those who they care about from
mother, father and playground group.
For adolescents, Valentine's Day is about the hope
of love. Teens offer giggles and blushes to their crushes. With their offerings
of cards, letters, candies and flowers, they anticipate that someone special
will like them back.
For singles, Valentine's Day means commitment.
Valentine's Day is after all about the search for lasting love. Just as many
relationships are begin and end with Valentine's Day. Between special dates and
special dinners, the Day is full of sharing and reflecting. For some,
Valentine's becomes the ultimate day of love and is set as a wedding day.
For couples, Valentine's Day is a reminder of love.
After commitment and sharing, Valentine's Day just like special time to set
aside to remember courtship, share special feelings, and recommit for the years
to come.
For parents, Valentine's Day is a shared love and an
opportunity to teach about love. Children, whether biological or adopted, are
the product of committed love and inspire a newfound appreciation for a partner
and a sense of family.
For most, Valentine's Day is a happy occasion. But,
for so many, Valentine's Day is bittersweet. For those who've lost loved ones,
Valentine's Day is a sad day that they long for the past and honor those they
loved. For those lonely souls, Valentine's Day is a reminder that a basic human
need to belong has gone unsatisfied.
Valentine's Day is a holiday about the human heart!
It offers us a day to hope and to share life with a person or people we love.
