Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful, smart, caring, loving, kind wife.  It sounds like a cliché, but I really do love her more today than we got married.  The love grows and grows and I am blessed to get to spend my days with her.  Since we will gone for a week, we plan to celebrate with the kids today, but I am looking forward to a date night while we are in Ft. Lauderdale.  Any good restaurant suggestions? I love the picture below and her amazing bouquet of roses paled in comparison to her beauty that day. If all of this mushy Valentine's Day makes you gag, check out a  post I wrote about another amazing love available to us.

Head over to http://www.1corinthians13parenting.com/blog/ today to read my post on love.  It is February, the month of love, but my post is not about romantic love.  Check it out!

Happy Valentine's Day, Bethany!  I am a blessed man to have you as a wife.  You are a wonderful mom and a great manager too.  I look forward to our date night this weekend.

The title of this post is what I used to call the holiday we celebrate today. I had a rather cynical and unromantic view of Valentine's Day. But despite the commercialization of Valentine's Day and the argument that we should not just show love to those around us one day a week, it still has a place. Husbands, we need to show love to our wives every day, but today share love that covers all five senses. Don't just give something, but also say I love you. How will you love your wife today? In addition, dads, we have a great opportunity to show our daughters what a godly man is and does. My daughters need to see me express love to my wife through words, actions, gifts, hugs, kisses, etc. But I can also remind them of the great love God has for them, how they are special for who they are, and remind them daddy loves them. Enjoy the day. Happy Valentine's Day!
