Valentine’s Day celebrates love.
Valentine’s Day is about showing your love.
Valentine’s Day involves sharing love.

Who do you love?
Who would you want show your love to?
Who do you wish to share your love with?

We all have love.
We can all show love.
We can all share love.

My Valentine’s would be the person who taught me about love.
My Valentine’s would be the person who showed me love.
My Valentine’s would be the person who I learnt to share love.

My Valentine’s Day is everyday.
My Valentine’s Day is the early hours before sunrise.
My Valentine’s Day is waking up to my Beloved.

My Valentine’s would be my Beloved Guru.
My Valentine’s would be my parents.
My Valentine’s would be my Dear Lord Creator.

The sign of love is willing to sacrifice all you have.
The sign of love is being graceful and forgiving.
The sign of love is being side by side forever.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji sacrificed his mother, father, four sons, and all he had for me.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji showered His grace on me and gave me the gift of Amrit.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji is always with me in the Divine form of the Shabad.

‘May me family [the Sikhs] live happily, and may my Sikhs and disciple cross over to God.’ [Benti Chaupai]

A mother sacrifices her share of a meal just to see her child does not feel hungry
A father sacrifices his time and energy, to work hard bring his children up.
A mother will be forgiving and show grace to her child when he or she does something wrong.

Our parents teach us to walk, talk and eat.
Our parents hug us when we feel lonely and wipe our tears when we feel sad.
Our parents do so much for us and yet do not seek thanks or appreciation.

‘Why O son do you argue with your father? It is a sin to argue with him who gave you life and brought you up.’ [Ang 1200]

The mother is the first one to offer companionship to her child from when the child is in her womb.
During hard times our parents stand side by side us.
When a child is sick or upset, our parents are still there to listen and offer a shoulder to cry on.

Waheguru has given me the gift of a human body.
Waheguru has given me the gift of the breathing.
Waheguru has given me the gift of intellect.

Waheguru can make me us from nothing to everything.
Waheguru is a merciful judge who is neither harsh nor lenient.
Waheguru bears no hatred; He listens and guides all those who ask with devotion.

‘I tell the truth, listen everybody: those who love [God] obtain the Dear Lord.’ [Jaap Sahib]

Waheguru is my mother, father, friend and companion.
Waheguru is always with me, within me and beside me.
Waheguru protects me when I am a weak, lifts me when I fall, and guides me when I can’t see.

May we all love God as much as He loves us.
Be inspired and inspire others. May Waheguru bless you!

Thank You for your soul reflections. GTKK
