Happy S.A.D.
It's that time of year again: Single Awareness Day*, otherwise known as S.A.D. Some people refer to it as St. Valentine's Day. Those people have to buy chocolate and gifts for someone. Coincidentally, I will be buying chocolate and gifts today as well, but it's not what you think. I'm headed out to get some gifts for the family I'll be staying with in Sierra Leone. I'm thinking chocolate and a flashlight. This may not sound like much, but consider that the family I'll be living with will only have electricity two hours a day (and a random two hours at that). We're really going to need the flashlight to find the chocolate when the power goes off.
*Saucy Scott gets the credit for enlightening me to the true name of today's holiday.
Don’t you just love Valentine’s Day? Just another holiday to remind us singles that we are not a member of a couple. When Bethie told me about her engagement, I thought it is just you, me, and Tim left in our little group who isn’t married yet. The 2 bachelors and the old maid, right? Ha ha. I sent Valentine’s to everyone and hope you got yours before you leave. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Brilliant, Matty! I love the true name of V-Day (Singles Awareness Day)! Your cleverness always puts a smile on my lips and an inspiring quip in my mind. I look forward to hearing from you in your new life, and am praying for you and the people you will be ministering to! God with you!
