I confess that one Valentine's Day in high school, a friend and I were going around singing our scheduled telegrams on Harding's campus. We finished our list, but did not want to go back to class. So, we would stop random people on campus and say that "that guy over there wanted us to sing a telegram for you." "What guy?" she would ask. "That guy ... where did he go? I bet he's hiding." We would then proceed to sing numerous false telegrams until we had missed the rest of the school day.
I confess that one Valentine's Day I went on a date with a guy knowing full well that our relationship was coming to an end and I planned to break up with him in the near future ... but wanted the chocolate shake. Even worse, I gave him a card with the top ten reasons I loved dating him. Date from VDay '96, if you happen to read this ... I'm so sorry! That was a cowardly thing to do.
Sometimes VDay brings out the worst in me.
HOWEVER:
I need days like these that help remember how blessed I am and not to take my husband for granted! We've shared 8 Valentine's Days together now, and I am so thankful for him! For his leadership in the church and in our home. For his faithfulness first to God and then to me and our family. For his gentleness and tenderness as a father. For his longing to learn and grow. For so many more things that I don't have words to describe! I love you, Honey.
