Thursday, February 16, 2006Sacrilegious? I beg to differ. The boyfriend cooked a very nice and expensive dinner for me on Valentines and I gave him a stuffed toy which he adores, has nicknamed 'mocha' and has cuddled to sleep every night since then. Were we using Valentines Day to mask our 'lust and thirst for sex' as those who celebrate have been accused of? Not at all. It was a day for us to express our appreciation and love for one another though I agree that we shouldn't limit this only to Valentines Day. Is it considered a bad practice for us to show appreciation when we do so every day through prayers to God? Of course, one has to be responsible when celebrating but really, don't make an issue about it when there is none to be had. And if you're thinking of preaching, try removing the plank out of your eyes before you pick the splinters in others.
