LOH Contest Week #172// Love 🥰 That Transcends All
Wonderful week to all my dear sisters in the house and all over the world, thanks to @meraki7578 for making this week's topic available for all and sacrificing to be the judge for the week.
The story that is making headline in social media now is Valentine's day celebration. Casting my mind when I was still in the college, as small girls then and in a boarding school we took this celebration so dearly. Every girl looks for a way to buy some special gifts for her dear one this period, I was a victim. As a critical thinker, I swinged in this way for a while but had to advice myself when I didn't just get a grasp of what the spending was all about. I saw that most girls do some nasty things just to make the day count, some girls also use it as a way of competition and I was not just trained that way and my mother back don't even know what I was doing back in school. Oh girl!!! I called it a quit.
Now that am grown and a mother, Valentine's day don't move me at all. Coming to the reason for the season, St Valentine was brutally mothered because of his affection for people now the day was mapped out for the celebration of him. I can say there is a misplacement of priority because what young girls and boys do on this day it's so alarming. There is this popular joke I saw from someone, that those that are born on 14th of November began a journey on 14th of February...I don't know how real this is but it's a direct attack on me sha because that's my birthday. So I prefer the day to just pass that way as any other day.
Preference
Even if I wish to change my mind it will be to show some act of kindness to people that are in dare need for help. There are lots of persons who are in desperate need for what to eat even if it's just for a meal but they lack access to it. The economy of my country has gone so bad that people are just stocked. So I prefer to use those resources for people like this than to spend it buy some sort of expensive things that may add less value.
Now, don't get it twisted, am not saying that all those are wrong, what am just pointing to is that there are better ways to things. There is also time fore everything, and in this difficult times there are better things to do that will affect the life of those around and in dare need. My name too will not be forgotten with all those goodness.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Love transcends any single day or expression.
While lavish gifts can hold their place, Valentine's Day offers a beautiful opportunity to extend love beyond our usual circles.
Remember, the most meaningful gestures often come in the simplest forms, reaching out to those who might feel unseen or forgotten.
Ultimately, how and to whom we express love is a personal choice.
Celebrate in a way that resonates with your values and brings joy to yourself and others.
While I won't dictate how you spend this day, I truly appreciate your thoughtful approach to celebrating love.

Thanks for sharing with us. Is actually a good ways of celebrating month of love. By showing love to those that in need
Thank you so much dear
I think Valentine's Day has it's own meaning to each of us. There is nothing wrong at all with yur viewpoint. My son would say it's just another day of commercialism-a way for retailers to make more profits. He's right to a point. We should not just choose one day in the year to show someone we care. We should show it every day!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely and blessed day!🤗💜
Hahahaha, your son is so funny and right at the same time. Everyday we should show some love to someone.
Thanks moma

I think that everyday should be used to show love, God is love, so his worshippers should have love and must show it every moment of their lives. And not just on a day that is mapped out by who knows! For me valentine is just a way of showy display of stuffs that we get for others and you're right, it's better to help those who really need help, those who don't have a way to repay!
Also we should maintain a good conduct everyday, but valentine's day seems to disagree with this!
Thank you for your good thoughts, I loved reading your post! 🤗
The rate of indecency young ones display says it all. Thanks dear for your input
God is love

Lol, it is indeed an attack on you but it is not serious though, but it is nice that you get to do something different on that day.
There has always been displacement of priority in every big day, as humans tend to do things differently so February 14th is the same.
Happy Birthday to you in advance.
Hahahaha, that's true.
Thanks so much dear
This is another great way of showing love to one another, and I pray that God helps you to carry out this plan on your valentine day
Amen, thank you so much dear
Yay! 🤗

Let me agree with you in some part, you can say our country teens are not presenting the valentines day well, but other countries are.
Ok dear, speaking from things I have seen in different locations... travelled more than 26 states in the country already, the story is same
I can't help but laugh at those poor souls who believe that love should be shown on Valentine's day. Love is daily and happens even when we don't notice. So, it is always a choice. Not just a gesture. Thank you for sharing.
Yes dear, it is always something...show me some love nah🥰😁
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you talked about girls making that period a competition,I couldn't agree more
I feel like the pressure is so intense. People just want to give out gifts because that's the season....sometimes those gifts lack intentions.
Lack intentions no be small...some of the intents are not pure too.
Thanks babe
