It’s February, and that means one thing to couples everywhere: Valentine’s Day. But we shouldn’t wait for a Hallmark holiday to show love to our family, friends, and neighbors. Our “Picture this” this month shows one example of how we can show love to our neighbors.
Here are some other suggestions:

• Leave a muffin or a handmade note of thanks for your newspaper delivery person
• Write a note to the boss of someone who has helped you, praising their employee.
• Give another driver your parking spot.
• Visit a retirement or nursing home and spend time talking and visiting residents.
• Buy some extra groceries and give them to your church’s food pantry.
• Leave flowers for a colleague.
• Write a thank-you note to a person from your past who has made a difference in your life.
• Buy a cup of coffee or soda for a coworker.
• Call your pastor and your children’s teachers and thank them for their hard and faithful work.
• Give blood.
• Invite a friend to attend church with you.
• Call a family member who lives far away.
• Have a family night—eat dinner together and play games.
