Do you know why we celebrate valentine's day?
Long ago in the city of Rome there lived a man named valentine. he was kind and all the children loved him. one day, the king of rome made a law and said, "all young men will be in my army. they cannot ever get married." valentine tried to help the young men and women. the king became very angry and threw valentine in jail. the children were sad to see valentine in jail. they made cards and wrote letters and sent them to valentine. one little girl, who was blind, brought food to valentine. he thanked her and PRAYED for her. then a miracle happened. the little girl could see! valentine sent the girl a letter and signed it, "from your valentine."
On valentine's day, we remember that all God's children should love one another.
"WOW! I never thought of it that way before!!" This story made me hate Valentine's day a little less...its a very good reflection from a different perspective. Thanks Ashlea Wiley! ^_~
