focusing on Him {valentine's day}

So I'm trying to center the focus of every worldly holiday on God.

I found this mailbox idea on another blog and thought I'd give it a shot for Valentine's Day. Each of us have our own mailbox with our initial (the mailboxes were $1 at Target and the initials I just cut out of construction paper).

Over the next couple of weeks, we take turns writing notes to each other telling each other what we love about them and put it in their mailbox. I also found some little treats we can put in each other's mailboxes. Then I decided to put a different scripture about love on the chalkboard every few days. It was really easy and I think, sweet.

The only thing I couldn't find were wooden candlestick holders to glue the mailboxes too, so I just found some things in my home to set them on top of. Maybe next year I'll glue them to their own candlestick holder.

Just something fun for our family and it opens up talking about God's love for us and how we ought to love others as much as we love ourselves.

Happy February!
