Billy Joel wrote a great song, "Tell her about it" [here] reminding us that the essence of a strong relationship is communication. It is saying you love someone, frequently, not just assuming they know. I believe that's true in all situations, friends and family, as well as the "beloved". Even if hugs are out (for covid or whatever reason) there are ways to show we care for others, that we believe each life matters.
They have this poster in the window of the local Christian bookshop. Underneath it says "Valentine's is for one day, God's love is for every day." A bit twee, maybe but there is an important truth behind it.
Very true! Kx

DeleteHappy Valentine’s Day and I always used to talk to the children in Assembly this week about the Magic Penny song- love is something if you give it away, you’ll end up having more. Catriona
