Valentine's

Valentine's

By Maryann Y

Every year, my mom and dad do something special for Valentines. They took us night-swimming in 2012 while they ate a quiet dinner by lantern light. I was always asking why I couldn't have the special food, or the Sparkling Grape juice, and for the 7th time in my life, (I'm 11) Daddy would try to explain that Valentine's is for married couples. I understand now that I'm older, but I still ask for the Sparkling Grape juice!

I think Valentine's is a great display of God's love. The couples are like the 'Righteous' in the Bible. I (and my siblings) are the "unbelievers," and though God still loves us, some things are for the 'Righteous,' like a life of eternity with God. So when I'm older and married, I'll probably tell my kids, "No Sparkling Grape juice!"

 In Christ,
