<\/a><\/div>\n

Love is in the air!! I sure don’t take this month lightly because on February 14th, 1961, my boy friend (and 5 years later, my groom) and I went on our first real boy-girl date, chauffeured by his dad and mom to a church Valentine’s banquet. This month has always been the “Love Month” to me, and though my sweetheart celebrates it in heaven, I still celebrate it here….with all those I know and hold dear. <\/p>\n

Of course this month is dedicated to lovers and romantic relationships. But why don\u2019t we take it up a notch and determine that February is a LOVE month for all those around us? <\/p>\n

Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily routines, we forget to let those close to us know how much we love and appreciate them. There\u2019s nothing more important than letting people know how much they mean to us. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So, why not let this be a LOVE month with everyone we encounter? Love is as simple as smiling at someone walking toward us, someone in front or behind us in the checkout line or someone standing next to us in an elevator. Sounds innocent enough, but what we really can be doing is secretly telling them \u201cI love you\u201d with that smile. And, if they smile back at us, let\u2019s imagine them saying \u201cI love you\u201d back to us. That silent exchange may cause feelings to emerge that could transform their day AND our day. <\/p>\n

So, since February is the month for love, how about we make a commitment to \u201cgive our love away\u201d \u2013 maybe in a love letter to those people in our life who inspire us, support us, assist us, feed us, nurture us, care for us, love us, pray for us, protect us, laugh with us and cry with us? They have shared the magnificent journey of our life with us. Let’s purpose to pour on the love this month….and let me start by saying “I LOVE YOU…..my FB friends and family. You mean the world to me! You make my world a better place. You put a smile on my face and you give me so many joys! May you know God’s love in tangible and beautiful ways….not just this month, but ALWAYS!”<\/p>\n
