Our First Valentine

In a couple of days will be Valentine's Day. A day we renew our love to one another with jewelry, flowers, candy, a romantic dinner, and cards. It's a day that accentuates love more than any other day unless it's your wedding anniversary.

I still have every Valentine Card that I received from Jerry. And that's a lot of cards. I still remember our first Valentine. He bought me a heart shaped box of chocolates. As a teenager infatuated with just the feeling of being in love, it was the best Valentine ever.

Through the years there's been more boxes of candy, flowers, and gifts, but what I always wanted most on that day was to know that the romance and love was still there.

“Our First Valentine”

It was many years ago

We shared that first Valentine.

With a heart box full of candy

And a card that read “Be Mine.”

We held each other’s hands

And each said “I Love You”!

And with each passing day

The stronger our love grew.

We shared many Valentines

Throughout the many years

Through all the good and bad

With laughter and with tears.

And though that first Valentine

Is a memory from the past.

Every Valentine Day and card

Shows a love that will always last.

-Patricia Rice

Ephesians 5:33

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself;

and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
