How To Celebrate Valentine’s Day With A Purpose!

Valentine’s Day is usually all about candy hearts, pink glitter, and frantic last-minute runs to the store for those little boxed cards. And while there’s nothing wrong with a little chocolate (let’s be honest, chocolate is practically a homeschool mom’s survival food), this holiday can be so much more than just paper hearts and sugar rushes. Today, I am going to tell you how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a purpose!

Shifting Our Valentine’s Day Focus

What if, instead of focusing only on store-bought love, we used this time to teach our kids about the greatest love of all, God’s love? This is exactly why I created Valentines With a Purpose: A 5-Day Family Devotional on God’s Love, to help families take this holiday beyond the roses and conversation hearts and dive deep into the incredible, life-changing love of God.

Why Shift the Focus On God?

Our kids are surrounded by messages about love, movies, books, songs, and social media all try to define what love looks like. But God is the One who created love, and His love is more powerful, lasting, and perfect than anything this world can offer. As Christian parents, we have the beautiful privilege of teaching our children what real love is, through God’s Word.

What’s Inside the 5-Day Devotional?

This devotional is designed to be simple, meaningful, and engaging for the whole family, teaching you how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a purpose. Each day, we’ll focus on a key aspect of God’s love:

Day 1: God’s Love is Everlasting – No matter what we do, His love never stops.
Day 2: God’s Love is For Everyone – The ultimate example of love is found in Jesus’ sacrifice.
Day 3: God’s Love Teaches Us To Love Others – His love isn’t just for a few, it’s for the whole world!
Day 4: God’s Love Is Patient and Kind – When we understand His love, it changes the way we love others.
Day 5: God’s Love Fills Our Hearts With Joy – The Lord has done great things for us!

Each day includes Scripture readings, discussion questions, and simple activities to help kids understand and apply what they’ve learned. And don’t worry, this isn’t another overwhelming, time-consuming project. It’s short, sweet, and impactful, something you can fit into your homeschool morning time, family Bible study, or bedtime routine.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day With A Purpose!

Instead of just handing out valentines, what if our kids learned to live out love? What if they wrote letters of encouragement, served someone in need, or prayed for people who don’t yet know Jesus? By shifting the focus to God’s love and how we can share it, we’re giving our children a deeper understanding of what love really means.

So this year, let’s celebrate Valentine’s Day with purpose. Let’s teach our children that love is more than chocolates and cute cards, it’s about the everlasting, unconditional love of God that changes everything.
