The Greatest Valentine

The Greatest Valentine’s Day Card and the most joyous expression of LOVE on this Valentine’s Day comes from the Church Community in the Greater Gardner MA region.   We’ve highlighted some examples and the LOVE really shines through.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told is the love between God and his human creations.  It is understandable that HE expects each and every one of us to follow HIS example and live our lives with LOVE.   Some days it may be difficult or even seem impossible in the face of life’s daily challenges.  

Certainly, Valentine’s Day is a great day to share with the Love of  your life.  It is also a great day to spread LOVE throughout your entire sphere of influence: family, friends, and even strangers you encounter today.

We wish all of you a very Happy Valentine’s Day.  May the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ enhance your life through the best Love of All.    May your relationships with family, friends, and significant others be filled with LOVE this Valentine’s Day.  And may your encounters with strangers leave them more loved than before your interaction.
