Valentine's Day





For many people, a perfect Valentine’s Day might entail strolling along the beach/park/lane, hand-in-hand with your significant other, whispering sweet nothings in each other’s ear. The highlight of my Valentine’s Day here in East Timor was a little different. Valentine’s Day afternoon found me walking along a dirt road, hand in hand with orphan girls exuberantly singing Christian songs as we made our way to religious education classes! It was a blast! As these beautiful, spirited, caring, Christian girls and I sang and sauntered to the chapel in the glorious February sunshine, I felt so blessed, joyful, and of course, LOVED. What an unforgettable way to spend Valentine’s Day!
Wishing everyone a very fun, blessed, sweet and chocolate-filled day!
