Expressions of LOVE

This is an interesting topic that I heard on air this morning through Mix FM - it goes with this question "Why do men always have to be the only person who has to spend lavishly on each Valentine's Day?" - why? hmmm... What is your opinion? And what will be your thoughts?

For me, it will be simple - LOVE is where the heart is. Gifts are a mere sign of showing affections one has for the other person. It need not be necessary expensive gifts or lavish dinners just to weight on how much your affection is for a person. To me, its the thought that counts. The gift could just be in a form of a self-prepared meal, a self-made card or even a simple but touching note will be just as meaningful when it is done, prepared or written with a loving thought. This gift to me is PRICELESS!

Just as the definition of LOVE elaborated in the book of 1 Corinthians 13, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres - Love NEVER fails.

Having said all the above, the conclusion to the question above - NO, it need not always be the man only who spends for Valentine's Day. It is just an activity or day for both individuals to remember a day by with fond memories... so, a small but sweet gift that acts as a memory token will do. And as long there is sincere love, everyday is Valentine's Day!

Taking this opportunity to wish all my blogger friends, friends and loved ones out there a very Happy Valentine's Day!
