Valentine's Day is a day dedicated to love and affection, and it's a time to reflect on the many forms of love in our lives. While it's a time to celebrate romantic love, it's also a time to celebrate the love God has for each of us. God's love is a love like no other, and it's a love that can bring comfort and peace in our lives, especially in difficult times.

The Bible speaks of God's love in many different ways, and it's a recurring theme throughout scripture. One of the most beautiful expressions of God's love can be found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, where it says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." This passage is a reminder that God's love for us is a selfless love, one that does not expect anything in return.

In addition to God's love for us, we are also called to love one another. As stated in John 13:34-35, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." This passage reminds us that loving one another is an important part of our relationship with God, and it's a way to show the love God has for us to others.

One way to celebrate God's love on Valentine's Day is to spend time in prayer and reflection. Take time to thank God for his love and ask for his guidance and support in our lives. Another way to celebrate God's love is by performing acts of kindness and generosity, spreading God's love to others and making a positive impact in the world. This can be as simple as volunteering at a local organization, donating to a charity, or reaching out to someone in need.

In conclusion, Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate love in all its forms, including the love God has for us. God's love is the ultimate love, and it's something that can bring us comfort, peace, and joy, no matter what challenges we may face. Let us celebrate God's love on this special day and throughout the year, by embracing it, spreading it, and sharing it with others. Whether we are in a romantic relationship or not, God's love is always present in our lives, and it's something to be cherished and celebrated every day.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.
