“The Worth of a Gift (Appreciated When the Value is Known)”,

Happy Value-Tines Day On this Valentine’s Day Week, we pray that every woman receives all the candy, cards, roses, and love that they all deserve and desire. For I believe that all women are special and are gifts from GOD to this earth – so, on this week (as they are every week to me) I want to say how much I appreciate and value all of the women that GOD has placed in my life. As well, I pray all men would share this same sentiment and thoughts about the women GOD has blessed them with. Unfortunately, the reality is there are many men who do not see the worth, value, and gifts that women are. It is my prayer that one day soon they will receive the revelation from GOD and learn to appreciate the gifts women truly are.I believe Christian men must continue to learn and understand the gift women are to us and along with learning, they must also be willing to allow GOD to reach down from Heaven and love her through them. It is my belief that when men learn to open their hearts, minds, and spirits to GOD, HE shows men how to love the woman/women (women-daughters, friends, etc.) that HE has blessed our lives with. Now, I know in any relationship every day won’t be peaches and roses, but if the relationship is built on a solid foundation, GOD, and a man knows and recognizes the gift of the woman in his life, difficult times will be much easier to overcome, due to him knowing her worth and value in his life.Therefore, it’s a man’s acknowledgment of a woman’s worth and value, and his ability to communicate his appreciation for her and to her, that tells him that every day should be like a Valentine’s Day to/for her. I know for many men that sounds difficult, but please allow me to be cupid for a minute (lol). Here are my humble suggestions: with a simple, “ I love you and praying you have a great day”, in the morning; a quick text “I’m thinking about you and wanted you to know I adore you”, during her day; and ending the day with an “I love you, appreciate all you do for our family and I thank GOD for you”, at night. I believe it is in those moments you’ve just shown and told her how much you value her, as well as, appreciate her. In those moments she knows you see her as a gift from GOD and feels it, too. What I’ve discovered is for most women it doesn’t take much to make their day, as well as, make them feel special. A card, flowers, or a loving text just because, throughout the day or year, brings a smile to her face and can go a long way. So, flowers, roses, candy, and cards are good on Valentine’s Day, a day someone set aside for that reason, but what about a Valentine’s Day for her in January, March, June, etc. --let every month be a Value-Tines Day for her. Again, let her know she is valuable and worth a lot to you every day. Amen!To GOD be the Glory!
