Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25551, member: 2262"] People around the world shared love yesterday on Valentine's Day. Many people gave flowers and chocolates to someone special, and some friends went out to eat dinner together. Valentine's Day is celebrated every February 14. People celebrate different kinds of love on this day. Some spend time with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Others tell their friends and family members how much they care about them. Anyone can pick who they want to show love to. Many people believe Valentine's Day started as a special church day. They say it remembered a man named Saint Valentine, who died helping others during the Roman kings' reign. Later, people changed this day into a time for sharing love. These days, some schools ask children to wear red clothes and give small gifts. Many offices put up red and white decorations. People give cards and sweets to show they care. Some Christians wonder whether they should join in the Valentine's Day fun. The Bible never talks about Valentine's Day. Many Christians think it brings happiness and lets them show love to others. Other Christians worry it might not match their beliefs. Christians who celebrate Valentine's Day often ask themselves important questions. They think about making God happy with what they do. They want to help other people learn about God through their actions. They make sure their celebrating helps others instead of causing problems. The Bible tells people to make God happy in everything they do. Christians read the Bible to understand what makes God happy. Each person decides if Valentine's Day matches what they learn from the Bible. [/QUOTE]
