Ever since my freshman year of high school I've had a "valentine" on Valentine's Day. I put that in quotations because I've never truly had a valentine. It seems like all the boys the end up sticking around til this time of the year aren't big fans of the whole buy-your-girl-chocolates on February 14th thing...and let me just say that is one thing I will forever be bitter about. I'm happy to say that this year my only valentine is my BFF Shan (so much more fun and less complicated when you leave the boys out!) and our yearly tradition of exchanging cute, little, hand-made notes covered in pink is red is always a blast. I'll keep her valentines forever, the ones boys would/could have given be...burned with the other things that reminded me of them.
Tonight I get the awesome opportunity to give the club talk at Young Life club, and its ALL about love (: While preparing this talk I realized that all the love we try and experience in this life, and especially high school, is conditional and mortal just like us. We do one little thing wrong and the love will crack and fade away. But what's really awesome about God's love for us? It's 230% unconditional. There is nothing that we have ever done or will ever do that will make Him love us any less. So if you're feeling a little lonely and unloved this Valentine's Day, buy yourself a book of chocolates and thank God for the fact that He loves you more than you could every imagine, and He'll keep on loving you for all of eternity...NO MATTER WHAT. Celebrate that love this Valentine's Day.
xoxo,
Abby just Abby
P.S. Boys, buy your girl a box of chocolates and remind her how much you love her too (:
