What is a young, Catholic, single girl to do on a Valentine's day? Why, enjoy it of course! Dance around in the snow, drink warm tea with honey, make and send cards to all your friends, scour the library's book sale, go shopping, have a party with all your girls, and bake cookies! Most of all, go to Mass. Because there you'll receive the greatest Valentine a girl could ever ask for: Jesus Himself. So enjoy your day. Celebrate and bask in God's abundant gift of Love. I can't say it'll be easy; walking around, passing couples hand in hand with red roses...who wouldn't feel that little (or big) twinge? But by being happy for them, you share in their joy.
I refuse to be mopey today, as far as I am able. I'm going to enjoy the day and spend time with my Valentine. =)
Love is "not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated,
it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered,
it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails."
~ 1Cor 13
