Here are some clues that Valentine’s Day is around the corner once again: there are hearts and flowers wherever you look, email inboxes are filling up with suggestions of everything from chocolates to kitchen appliances as perfect gift ideas, and people both single and coupled up are starting to wonder what to do for the day. There can be a lot of pressure to make the best of this one romantic day, and it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed, or left out if you don’t have anything planned. Here on Christian Connection we know romance can’t be rushed, so this Valentine’s Day why not take the romantic pressure off and focus on ways to share the love with others.

As a new year dawns, we are gifted a fresh opportunity to build the life and the relationship that we desire and deserve. So, how do we make the most of this opportunity? How can you let love into your life? I believe we do this by giving to ourselves, to our lives and to others the love we hope to receive.

This season is an exciting one but it can also be lonely. It doesn’t have to be this way. Admittedly, for single people, this can be a time when the reality of being single hits a bit harder, but this time of year can also be a great time to make connections that matter. So, how can you make the most of this season? What kind of connections might you want to consider?
