We just celebrated Valentine’s Day … a day when flowers and chocolate become the foremost things we think of for our honeys. Did you know that Valentine’s Day is the busiest day of the year for florists, followed closely by Mother’s Day? Did you also know that florists make 1/3 of their annual income on Valentine’s Day flowers?
Just a bit of trivia for you … I used to be in the floral business and those two holidays alone were actual nightmares for me, just because I wanted to make sure everyone got their flowers on time, the arrangements were what they expected, and that everyone was happy. A lot of prep work, a lot of scheduling of deliveries, and a lot of smiles to all the walk ins who needed something dazzling at the last minute. Needless to say, I needed more than chocolates at the end of the day and I didn’t care to see another single flower!!! But, in the end, it was worth it because I provided a service that brought joy and happiness to others.
Anyway, I bring this up because February is the month of love and, in the flurry of getting the perfect card, flower or gift, we might be forgetting about the One who loved us the most … the One who gave us the perfect gift a long time ago – His love. Someone sent me this email some time ago and I think it is really appropriate for the month of February so I wanted to share with you. Enjoy!
