Hi Friends!

We “love” to take every opportunity to celebrate love in all its forms. No matter where you land on the Valentine’s Day celebration scale, we hope you’ll consider this month an opportunity to share God’s love with those around you.

Here are some ways we’ve done it in the past:

The kids love walking around the track and giving out anything that will bring a smile to someone’s face. When we put a gift in someone’s hand, we always make sure to tell them that God loves them and we do too. Isn’t that what we all need? To be reminded of God’s love for us and to know that we are seen and cared for by someone else.

This month can inspire us all to look for ways to share God’s love. We can do the smallest acts of kindness and make someone’s whole day. We continue to be challenged to open our eyes and see the people in need of encouragement. May God use us all for His glory as we open our hands to share what He’s given us.

If you need some ideas, check out Ann Voskamp’s calendar with ideas to “be the gift”.

Christian hands never clasp
and He doesn’t give gifts for gain
because a gift can never stop being a gift-
it is always meant to be given.
