I'm calling all my girls who need to tell their friend she is loved! Actually, that is all of you because everyone of us needs to know they matter! Valentine's Day is just days away and whether you are on top of it or are flying by the seat of your pants, I've got a special freebie for you to send just a little more love to your besties!
I've prepped two joyful images with a virtual bouquet (you pick the personal message or a verse) for you to download or screen shot and send to your people this Valentine's Day. Even if you've already sent some Valentine's cards, I'm sure you know someone who would appreciate being remembered by text or email so why not brighten their day with this bright, little card?
In addition, I've got something for those of you who have a hard time writing inside your card! Here's a few simple but thoughtful messages you can pen in or to inspire your own words!
Most importantly, though many criticize the commercialism of this holiday, let's instead choose to let Christ's light shine through us. Tell some people you notice them, that you care or that they are doing a good job. Show your gratitude to your friends and family, to teachers and bosses and assistants and anyone who could use a little boost. What a good opportunity to share a reminder that God so loved the world, including each of us, that he gave everything to save us!
Made for you notes right here! Take a one-liner, combine a few or get inspired to write your own note from these little messages!
-I'm so very thankful for our friendship!
-Hello! I hope your week/month has been excellent! I can't wait to hear about (fill in the blank)! Let's get together next week! (or Let's plan a call on Friday to catch up!)
-When I think of you, I think of laughter. I remember when we have cried. I remember things we've learned together and things I wish you would forget! Thank you for all of it!
-I'm so very blessed to call you, my friend!
-You are simply irreplaceable and I must let you know how much I am thankful for your friendship!
-Thank you for always being there for me. You have a special place in my heart, Sweet Friend.
-Just want you to know you are in my thoughts. I would love to see you soon and chat over (coffee, lunch, a walk). I'll call you and we can put it on the calendar!
-“In case you ever foolishly forget: I am never not thinking of you.”– Virginia Woolf
-Hope everything’s been alright with you, I was thinking about you and how long it’s been, let’s get together soon!
-You never fail to make me laugh and refresh my soul! I need that and I thank you for who you are!
-Wish you were here right now for nachos and margaritas after thrifting! (fill in snacks or shopping that fit you.) They just taste better (or It's just more fun) when I'm with you! Miss you, Friend!
-There's just something special about a friend who shares some history and faith with you! I'm so grateful God gave me you!

One more tip for good measure- Let's send a few messages the day before and get the ball rolling! You know that visual of how our actions can be like ripples in the pond? What if your little note of love and gratitude boosts your friend enough that they have a little extra umph to pass it on? What if it primes the pump so to speak for their own love sharing on Valentine's Day? Or it could prevent someone from starting the day feeling alone and isn't that something we want to be a part of?
"We love because he first loved us." -1 John 4:19
Happy Valentine's Day, Friend!
