Receiving a Rose: A Valentine's Day Blessing

On this day, we have to consider ourselves fortunate to receive a rose, or a treat, or a hug, a smile, a kind word, phone call, text, a hand to hold your hand, a shoulder to lean on; to have someone make breakfast for you this morning, someone to put away your laundry, someone to draw you a picture; to have a person who catches you when you fall, a person who cheers you on, a person who cares for you.

On this day, we have to consider ourselves fortunate to give a rose, or a treat, or a hug, a smile, a kind word, phone call, text, be the hand to hold another's hand, be the  shoulder to lean on; to make breakfast for someone this morning, to put away someone's laundry, to draw someone a picture; to catch someone when they fall, to cheer for someone, to care for someone.

Receiving and giving. We have to consider ourselves fortunate to love and be loved.
