Happy Valentine's Day

Good Morning and Happy Valentinte's Day!
My children Love Valentine's Day. They all made up their Valentine Cards for their class parties last night. They carefully chose a little card for each classmate based on what they knew or felt for that person. Which I thought a little silly since the cards all looked pretty similar. But they seemed to think they knew what slight difference in card choice would make each friend happiest.
I think that is really a rather special thought. Even though the attention will be completely lost as their friends sift through the pile of Valentines on their desks. The care was taken in the giving.
I think maybe there is a lesson there. Even with the small things we give, if we give our best, give our attention to who the person is and what their needs are, we will know we've done our best to love them. There is satisfaction in loving someone the best you can. And they will ultimately know we care, whether or not they realize the details.
My husband is washing dishes for me. See, he knows me. He knows washing the dishes (our dishwasher hasn't worked for some time) will mean more to me than a box of chocolates. And mean just about as much as diamond earrings (which I know we can't afford so he'd be in truoble if he bought them anyway), So, maybe the perfect gift isn't a Lexus or a Rolex, but showing the other you really know them and their needs.
