Celebrating the Love of God

As we were making apple cobbler for Family Home Evening, Justin asked me, "Mom, what does Valentine's Day celebrate?" I replied, "Looooooooooooooooove!" Then he asked, "Love of who...Heavenly Father?" I answered, "Well, I suppose you could celebrate His love, but most people celebrate the love of their sweetheart, like Daddy and I." Exhausted with my explanation Justin said, "Well mom, you can't celebrate Valentines day without God, because GOD IS LOVE!"

(We've been memorizing the scripture found in 1 John 4:7-9.) There's nothing like a child who internalizes what he is taught!" Maybe we should celebrate His love this coming holiday!
