Ok I always joke that Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I like flowers, chocolate and gifts just like everyone lol. But let’s talk about this for a minute. In our society there are people that go day to day financially. People just do not see the bigger picture all the time. I am trying not to get on the soap box. In an article from USA Today the numbers were astounding like “$2 billion on flower” There were other numbers as to the amount on jewelry and dinners out. Now, I am guilty I did go out today on Valentine’s Day. According to the NRF most Americans will spend close to $140.00 this year on the holiday.
We just want to show our affection to those we love. And who should we love more than anyone else. He does not need flowers, chocolate or jewelry. He just wants our heart. He gave us the best gift ever. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Wow…. Flowers or eternal life????
I personally will take eternal life. I think after looking at the numbers and thinking about this information; how awesome would it be if the billion number could be souls coming to Christ. I wish I could own a flower shop and then at the holiday I would include a verse on each delivery. Maybe next Valentine’s Day or even going forward when you think about flowers, chocolate and hearts think about souls for Christ. If you do not know Christ as your personal Savior please reach out to someone and ask about this wonderful gift. It is free and will be the best thing you can do for yourself, family and the one you love.
