I have a bowl of candy hearts in the office. Each heart has a saying, such as: Be Mine. Gotcha. I'm Sure. Crazy 4 U. OXOX. Love You!
Stores offer these candies shortly after the new year leading up to Valentine's Day. The bowl in my office is leftovers from a Couple's Valentine's night out with couple's from our church.
We went bowling and ate at a Mexican restaurant. Going with the Mexican theme, anyone who had a gutter ball had to wear a sombrero until someone else on their team threw a gutter ball. We had romantic prizes if you threw a strike. The teams were selected so couple's were together, so when the prizes were exhausted and a strike was thrown, the person's partner came out to lane and either kissed or bowed to their feet according to the choice of the person who threw the strike.
What a riot!
Our community paper highlighted a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. They shared secrets to a lasting marriage. During our Mexican supper, couples made romantic phrases with the heart candies and on a 3x5 card wrote their own secrets to a lasting relationship.
8 Love never fails.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
