Remembering St. Valentine

While it is currently abnormally warm in North America with people complaining about losing their winter, at the same time it is unusually and frigidly cold in north Europe and Asia, with thousands of people losing their homes and lives,

While the emerging economies are growing rapidly, the enlarging economic gap is also growing rapidly, with the riches becoming richer and poors remaining the same or becoming poorers, especially the aboriginal people around the world.

While Islam is currently the fastest growing religion in the world, Christianity is the slowest growing among major religions in the world.

Maldives, the land known to be the vacation paradise on Earth has recently had a coup d'etat while confronting the fate of being one of the first nations in the world to be flooded and disappear with the rising sea level.

China, the fastest growing economy in the world is creating lots and lots of farmer workers who have to leave home to work in the big cities/industrial areas and could only return home once a year for only a few days.

Europe is still struggling with their mounting sovereign debt, seemingly unrepentently and cluelessly while watching it becoming worse day by day.

Iran is getting squeezed tigher into the corner and is almost of the brink to going to war with the western world with the seemingly mischievious backing of China and Russia who have economic profitability ties with Iran.

Syria is already having an almost all out civil war, threatening the already shaky situation in the middle east area surrounding Israel.

Jesus Christ is known for giving, never known for receiving, so are the twelve disciples and supposedly all the genuine Christians crowned as saints. Let my Valentine's Day be a day of reminder for giving and showing love and charity.

 

Acts 20:35 New International Version (NIV)

35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
