Happy Expectations Day!
This seems to be a day filled with expectations of loved ones, merely because someone declared it a holiday. A day filled with a lot of empty fluff instead of focusing on the meaning and reason for its beginning!

Today marks the death
of a man by the name Valentine. This man died because he believed in marriage,
family and that the legal system did not have a right to dictate either of
them! He believed that marriage was worth fighting for and giving your life
for. That it was created under God, not the Government!

This should be a day
to remind us to fight for our families and marriages and not the let the tyranny
of the urgent destroy what should be the most urgent instead of spending today
grabbing a last minute stuffed bear, chocolates, or some flowers. Don’t get me
wrong these things aren’t bad, but merely worthless if you have to be reminded
by Hallmark how and when you’re supposed to show your love for someone.
We should spend today
fighting for our families and marriages instead of grabbing desperately for
something or someone to replace them, even if that feels better or is more
convenient at the time! That is not what this
holiday is about. It is as much a celebration for "singles" as it is
for the married; it is about being married and having a family as well as being
IN a family!
"Singles" today, instead of looking around and seeing
what you think you don’t have, why don’t you look again and see what you do
have! It is a day to be grateful your parents had you and that you don’t live
in a country where they regulate how many children your parents could have or
who could even get married! Don’t take marriage and relationships lightly, it
is a lifelong commitment that once you have made it you will never be the same
after, for better or for worse relationships will affect you and though legally
divorce is an option, you can’t divorce the effects of it and memories can
NEVER be removed. You can never un-ring the bell so don’t rush up and ring it
unless you know it is your bell and your time to ring it!
Couples, whether your
marriage is wonderful or falling apart, remember it is a blessing and a choice
and an example of God’s love to us. It is a blessing that it is even an option
to be allowed to marry, unlike in Valentine’s era, where you could have faced
death or imprisonment.
To all, may we be
grateful for what we have and never treat it lightly; love to anyone is a daily
choice and aren’t we glad God chose to love us and send His son to die for us!
Sincerely,
Just Another
Single
