Sunday is Lover’s Day.  Whether you have a lover or not, you probably have some Valentine’s Day memories.  When I was in grade school, we were “forced” to give Valentine’s Cards to everyone in the class.  That time period must have been a financial windfall for card makers.  Every mom went out and bought the kit with 30 cards and then we had to sit down and put names on them so we could pass them out at school.  I didn’t want to give cards to boys.  In fact, I didn’t want to give them to most of the girls either.  I remember some of the cards had a skunk on them, probably Pepe le Pew, I gave those cards to the people I really didn’t like.  I know that is terrible, I was a punk.  I’m sure glad that God is more loving than me.  He didn’t send His Word to a few people that liked Him back; He loves the whole world.  He loves people that hate Him and/or deny His existence.  “God demonstrated His love for us in this way, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Would you send a Valentine to somebody who hated you?  God sent His Son.  His Son.  Love is God’s disposition and our manifold blessings are the result of God’s love toward us.  As meet around the Communion Table this week, we’ll talk about how we ought to live in light of that love.  Happy Valentine’s Day!
