Valentine's Day... selfish??

The radio... the tv... the commercials... the shopping malls... everywhere you go... blaring aloud VALENTINE'S DAY, VALENTINE'S DAY....

After reading the article on the History on Valentine's Day...I found the public (esp the $ making ones) are cashing in on our ignorance...

So sad, when the first and original valentine was in John 3:16. Yes, yes... you read right.

What has been originally meant for mankind was NOW DISTORTED to focus on self...

This morning's AiFM DJ was asking how would they celebrate this day and (IMHO)the replies were somewhat selfish... so self-centred.. "I won't go out lo.." ; "I would feel out cos everyone is in pairs" ... bla bla bla

Aiyoyo...

I believe our youth will celebrate valentine's day differently..BECAUSE we know the true meaning of valentine's day.

Remembering what our Loving Father has done for us.. sending His one and only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross so that when we believe in Him, we shall not perish but have everlasting life.

And WHAT a life!!!!

We are surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ who support and encourage us along the journey of our lives, doing things together and always together.

We are blessed with gifts and talents and we are using them for the glory of God through music, retreats/camps, outings or just simply spending time together.

We are blessed with wonderful parents who support us in our ministry and encourage us to serve God in the ministries He has prepared for us.

AND many many more...

And in view of all these, we will be celebrating Valentine's Day with our Blessed Trinity this saturday 6.30pm..pot bless style.

All glory and honour be to God and God alone.

BLESSED VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!
