You know that your parents love you and show it by doing nice things
for you. In the same way, you feel good about yourselves when you do
something kind for another person. And while kindness towards friends and family may come naturally, Valentine’ s Day is also an opportunity to show
kindness towards people you don't know very well. Keep in mind that Saint
Valentine was a man who was thrown into prison a long time ago for helping
people get married, but who was so kind that he healed the blind daughter of
the man who was his jailer.
Showing compassion is not
as simple as giving someone a card or some candy. Sometimes you have to reach out to those who need it. True kindness requires paying attention to others and their
feelings. Ask yourself: What can I do to help him/her feel better?
If you read books, ask yourselves what
the characters in the story might be feeling, and if they are struggling with
sadness, loneliness, frustration, or fear, what might make them feel better
etc. This is a good place to start.
Fill your heart with love and feel love and compassion every day!
Happy Valentine' s Day!
Love - John Lennon
