OK--look out your window today--the whole world has abandoned cars, trains, buses, planes, speedboats, subways and spacecraft. They're all riding two-wheelers--wearing red roses, consuming rich chocolates, reciting ridiculous rhymes, and romancing down the red brick road to the Land of Love and Delight!
Why, of course! It's Valentine's Day, and if YOU are riding one of those two-wheelers, if you ARE a two-wheeler, be thankful for the wonderful love you celebrate today. It's God-given, God-approved, and God-blessed! BUT, if you are a single, want-to-be, never-have-been, or used-to-be rider of one of those shiny two-for-one bikes--if it's missing one seat, broken down, in the shop for repairs, or just all rusty and worn out, you just want to know when "THE DAY" will be over. It's no great fun being a grandstand bike-watcher today, I know!
So what to do? Curl up under the blankets and cry it away? Couch up by the TV and watch it away? Come on--there's a better way, and it's GOD'S way. The Designer of "the bike" is a God of love--He loves you, married or single--it's a love that's unconditional, eternal and ever-faithful; you can count on it! Better yet, you need not ride it ALONE--He rides with you all the way--AND there's enough room on it for another passenger or two...
Find a lonely senior who needs a smile--and some chocolate. Take a little child to a fast food restaurant--invite some singles to your home to watch old movies--visit a nursing home--find someone to share that bike--make it a two-wheeler for three--or four--or thirty-four! Find a way to bring love into another's loveless life today--and you'll find a full, happy heart yourself!
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day celebrating with a lost and lonely world a love we can all enjoy--the love of the Son of God whose faithfulness and friendship never fails! Celebrate HIM today--load down that two-wheeler with some lonely, loveless people--head down the road to HIS Home--and you will have a great day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word

"And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, it's Valentine's Day--and whatever my circumstances this day, please make it a day of sharing Your love with someone who's lost, lonely, or just feeling left out. Give me Your compassionate and caring heart today--and may I be aware of what I can do to lighten the heart of another on this special day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
