💗 Happy Valentine’s Day 💗
On this day of love, we pause with grateful hearts, remembering that love’s true source is God. He teaches us how to love fully, patiently, and without condition.
Today, we celebrate love in all its beautiful forms — the love shared between spouses and partners, the bond of family, the gift of friendship, and the quiet love that carries us through every season. May our love reflect kindness, grace, and compassion, not only today but in the way we live each day.
