Deuteronomy 22-25…Valentines Day


Woops of the Day: Somehow the blog from yesterday never made it all of the way up…some kind of glitch. It could be the fault of a stupid computer, a clumsy blogger or the combination of the two…who knows?

Today was valentines day: Today was the day where people who are in dating relationships spend the day celebrating their love and commitment to one another.

It is also the day when those who are not in dating relationships spend much of the day lamenting their place in live. I have heard today being referred to as “Singleness Awareness Day.”

The truth is…neither of those ideas for spending the day really sun up its meaning.

The number one call on a Christian’s life is love. We are called to love people well…and sacrificially.

Tonight, I read a bit about what love is supposed to look like…here check it out:

If you see your brother's ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to him.If the brother does not live near you or if you do not know who he is, take it home with you and keep it until he comes looking for it. Then give it back to him. Do the same if you find your brother's donkey or his cloak or anything he loses. Do not ignore it.

Deuteronomy 22:1-3

We are called to help one another, to show love by recuing one another….

also side note: this verse tells you that you have to help me find my cell phone next time I loose it!

Valentines day…along with the rest of the year, is about helping and serving one another. It is about the fact that we can’t stand by and leave others in trouble when we can help them.

Oh and I am missing a set of pink headphones…I am pretty sure that God just commanded you to let me know if you find them J Just Kidding!
