Love on love on love.

Art room lovin'

Here's a fun fact: I love Valentine's day. It is one of the greatest days of the year.
The art room is covered in hearts on hearts on hearts. I guess I go a little overboard but that's only because I think it is so great.

Now, here's a little background on my Valentine's history. I've had two Valentine's days when I was in a relationship and two when I was single. I'm going to be honest, I love spending my Valentine's day with my girls so we can spoil each other. For example, my date for one Valentine's was to a fabulous Italian restaurant with a dear friend and the next year, I ate ice cream from a fast food restaurant. You can see why I'd choose my girl friends over frantically finding a date.
Ok. Now for the explanation. I do not like Valentine's day because Halmark invented overly pricey cards for us to scribble down our names in a declaration of love. No. I love Valentine's day because I love LOVE. That's right. I love God's love. He is so great. I am beyond madly in love with the Creator. Having an entire day set aside to purposely love one others is the best way God is bringing the Kingdom on earth. Think about it: this is the day we'll be a little kinder to that jerk who cut us off in traffic or we'll smile at the bus driver.
And what's even more exciting is someday we'll be living in a world that is always Valentine's day! (well, minus the guilt of not yet snagging Joseph Gordon-Levitt as my Valentine) We will live in a New Earth and everything will be made right between humanity. There will be love on love on love. Love will be spilling over everything and it will be perfect.
