Valentine’s Day. The day to show our friends and loved ones just how much we love them. This day is filled with messages of love to family and friends. Our grandchildren are making valentines for everyone in their class at school and church. They have lots of friends. It seems at a young age just about everyone we meet is our friend. Children make friends fast. They can meet for the first time and minutes later be playing like they have known each other forever. I reme
