Valentine's and Singleness

Ok so this post is a few days late, but I've been sick the past few days. So any way I was listening to a local Christian station on Feb. 13th and they said it was Singles Awareness day. This upset me a bit. Like singles aren't aware of are singleness everyday. There is no married awareness day or widowed awarenss day. Now Singles appreciateion Day. I could go for that.

Actually I think what ever season we are in should be appreciated every day. Often times we as single don't appreciate this season while we are in it. We are in a very special an unique season in our walks with Christ during our single years. We are more free to serve in ways that married couples can't. Because rightly so they have a ministry first to their spouses and children. As singles times of fellowship can happen more often and on such spontaniouse timing.

Now as far as Valentine's Day. Though romantic love is focused on on this day. it is a day to express love for those in our lives. Kids make cards for their parent's, parents give candy hearts to their kids. Why not as singles don't we give little notes and treats of encouragements to those God has placed in our inner circles of life. Our other single girlfriends would love a card and a small box of chocolates or a rose on this day as much as the married, courting, or engaged lady would.

So when next Valentitne's Day comes why not think which of your single girlfriends you could bless with a Valentine.
