I have been celebrating Valentines day since I was in the first grade in elementry school , way back when.I can remember cutting out heart shaped red construction paper and writing I LOVE YOU on lots of them and ,we would give them out to all our friends , the most popular kids got the most cards. And there was always that bigger and special card for that cute girl that sit in the front row near the teachers desk. And as always the special card would say "I love you," and then on the back was "do you love me???" You know , no mater how old we are we are still asking this same question of all our friends and folks we know and meet on this journey thru life ,"I love you", " do you love me?" , and our joy and happiness in life seem to rise and fall on these simple questions, and the answer.
TAKE FOR INSTANCE: St. Valentine , who started this whole thing many ,many, years ago., he was rejected by his mistress and was so heart broken ,that he took a knife to his chest and sent to her, his still beating heart, as a token of his undying love for her. Hence heart shaped cards (the card companys say this is the second biggest seller , Christmas being the number one ) are now sent, as a tribute to his passion and suffering.
I think he went a bit to far myself, but who can fully understand LOVE, and to all of you blooger buddies and friends and family and folks from (maybe ) around the world,that will read this post YES !!!!!! I DO LOVE YOU , sometimes I may not like you , and sometimes I may not understand your point of view and question the things you do , but I will always love you , I want cut out my heart to show you how much , but I would ,(if the need should ever arise) lay down my life to show how important you are to me and how much I care .
Greater love hath no man than this , that he lay down his life for a friend. JESUS said that.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU and YOURS. Malcolm
