Day of Love & Giving. Power of Only One Gives Back

Today in the United States we celebrate Valentine's Day.  A day of love and romance.  I believe that love is more than candy, flowers, expensive Hallmark cards, and a single day of romantic love.  I believe that love is an action, rather than a fleeting feeling.  Love is committting yourself to being a better you, willing, no desiring, to help lift up your loved ones. I Corinthians 13: 4-7 best defines what real love is and should always be:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Along this vein, I want to celebrate this day of love by looking beyond my need for trinkets and selfish attention.  This day should honor love that is giving, hopeful, and generous.  As of today, Power of Only One's Haiti Relief Effor has raised $52.  The goal was to raise $100.  Today, as a token of appreciation and genuine thanks to those who have helped spread the Power of Only One, I will meet dollar for dollar.  $104 will now be donated to the people of Haiti in the name of the Power of Only One and all its supporters. 

Happy Valentine's Day.  May you know love today.  If you are unsure of what gift to get your loved ones, give the gift of life.  Donate money in the names of those you love.  It is truly a gift from the heart that will let them know just how special they are and it is a gift that will keep on giving.
