Let's Talk About Love
For all its fluffy, gushy hoopla, Valentine’s Day is a significant day. Sure, the card/flowers/candy companies have inflated it more than a little, but Valentine’s Day is not merely sentimental. If you’re like me, the day is a mile marker of sorts. When I look back on Valentine’s Day five, ten, or twenty years ago, it’s interesting to reflect on what it meant to me at different stages of my life.
Eight years ago, for example, I sat in a swanky restaurant with a man I had only just met. I thought he was crazy to ask me out so soon—on Valentine’s Day, no less!—but ten months later we would be engaged. Valentine’s Day is now our “first date anniversary.”
Fifteen years ago I was a sophomore in college, and very single. Both of my roommates had serious boyfriends, so they were out having a romantic evening. My night, on the other hand, involved some form of wallowing.
Twenty-five years ago, I was a fourth grader. That year, I wrapped a shoe box in red heart wrapping paper, dotted it with more heart stickers, and cut a hole in the top. I then assembled twenty-four Bugs Bunny Valentine’s cards for the annual card and candy exchange. Back then, I wasn’t concerned about finding a boyfriend so much as gathering a stockpile of candy.
The personal significance of Valentine’s Day changes over the years, and for kids it’s usually quite simple: Valentine’s Day is fun. However, as our kids grow older and Valentine’s Day begins to MEAN something, that significance is accompanied by cultural messages about “love.” As a parent, I want to be a part of that learning process.
In our culture, “romantic love” has a rather self-centered bent to it. Romantic love is supposed to complete us. Marital love is supposed to make us happy. “Love” and “self-fulfillment” are nearly one in the same. In fact, our culture (through books, movies, reality television and more) implies that without romantic love we are somehow incomplete (thank you, Jerry Maguire). In a desperate effort to fill that void, people often justify personal compromise and bad decision-making. Alternatively, “love” can also carry less weight than it should, with people demonstrating flippant relationships like one-night stands and “friends with benefits.”
Before my kids absorb those distorted messages about romantic love, I want to counter those messages with truth, and Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for those conversations. So, as Valentine’s Day approaches, here are some fun topics for conversation that can help your kids develop a more Christ-like understanding of love. These questions are appropriate for different ages, and they are only the tip of the iceberg, but hopefully they can inspire you, and your family, to go a little deeper with Valentine’s Day:
• Besides romantic love, what other kinds of love are there?
• Is romantic love the most important kind of love? Why or why not?
• In what ways does God show His love for us (1 John 3:16)?
• How can we show our love for God?
• The Bible says to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). How can you love your friends, or your siblings, as yourself?
• Jesus also teaches us to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44)? Who are the hard people in your life, and how do you think you can love them?
• The Bible says it is not enough to love people with our words, but to SHOW them our love (1 John 3:18). Why do think your actions are more powerful than your words?
In John 13:35, Jesus reminds the disciples that they will be known by their love. In a world of conditional love, cheap love and self-centered love, it’s never too early to start teaching our kids about Jesus’ “different kind of love.” And more importantly, it’s never too late to talk about God’s love for us, and how to bear witness to it. God’s love is a whole lot harder, and much more self-sacrificing, than mushy Valentine’s Day love, but it’s also the only kind of love that is perfect, the only kind of love we were fundamentally created for, and the only kind of love that will actually fulfill us.
I want my kids to know that truth, on Valentine’s Day, and every day.

My Bitcoin Recovery Experience with Cloudstrike Cybersecurity
A few weeks ago, I made what I thought was an irreversible mistake — I accidentally sent about $117,000 worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address. It was supposed to be used for a major purchase, but one typo changed everything. The moment I hit “send” and realized what had happened, my heart sank. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart. That money was everything I had.
Like many people, I’d always heard that crypto transactions are final and basically impossible to recover. I started reading forums, asking around, and all I saw were messages telling me there was nothing I could do. It felt hopeless.
Then I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cybersecurity . I’ll admit — I was skeptical at first. It just sounded too good to be true, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I contacted them through their email[Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]
To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. They asked for all the relevant transaction details — the wallet address I sent the Bitcoin from, the one I sent it to, the transaction ID, and a few other things. I sent it all over, still unsure if anything would come of it.
But within 48 hours, they got back to me with incredible news: they had tracked down the transaction and recovered my funds. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had to reread the email a few times to let it sink in. They guided me step by step and transferred the recovered Bitcoin back to my wallet. I was in shock — and honestly, beyond grateful.
I never thought recovery like this was even possible, but Cloudstrike Cybersecurity proved me wrong. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly saved me.

I’m veronica 54 years old from Venice, Italy.
I was finally able to recover my lost USDT and some BITCOIN I sent to a Fake Forex Guru I met on Facebook some months ago.
As a financial market enthusiast. I was thrilled at the results ( profits) they do post on their Facebook page every day.
I decided to give it a try and I sent them a private Message which took them less than 24 hours to reply.
After the discussion I had with them and more results of investors shown to me, I was convinced they are genuine and I decided to invest the sum of 40,200 USDT for a start.. i signed the agreement and all necessary document with MOU ( memorandum of understanding).
After the first 3 months I got returns on investment as agreed.
Then I decided to add more funds to my portfolio with them with the sum of 12,000 USDT in BTC conversation.
After another cycle to get my returns on investment, they came up with stories, demanding I needed pay certain amount of money before I can make withdrawals of which was not the case on initial withdrawals and wasn’t also on the agreement.
I was so confused, dumbfounded. after several attempts to get back my funds and to which i couldn’t. i decided to open up to a colleague about the incident and he made me to further realised i’ve been swindled. On trying to look for a means to get my funds recovered if it’s ever possible.
I was lucky to trip over TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY’s testimonies by a blog post online and i contacted them.
After reaching out to TROJANHACK with effective communication, providing necessary information. They were able to recovered my lost USDT AND BITCOIN within a week. I’m forever grateful to them for bringing restfulness back to my life and finance.
They are special and I highly recommend them for anyone battling with such situation. You can reach out to them via their email:

Hi folks, I’m a testament that miracles happen. When I turned 18, My grandfather encouraged me to buy a lottery ticket for fun but I wasn’t pleased with the way I kept on playing without winning. I was eager to learn more about how to win the lottery and when I searched the internet I found numerous articles saying how they won the lottery through spell and I decided to give it a try by contacting Lord Meduza. I’d love to say that this man is such a sweet soul who got my back all through the process of making me a lottery spell to win the lottery. The numbers he gave me won me the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball of a whopping $48 million Canadian Dollars. Right now my family and I are blessed. Thank you LORD MEDUZA for making this win come true for me and my family. Anyone that seeks for his help can get in touch with him by Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp: +1 807 907 2687.

I attempted to put my savings in a forex broker’s transaction during the Pandemic. Since then, I’ve been attempting to withdraw my savings and have been requested to pay fees and taxes each time. On June 30 of last month, I learned that it was all a hoax, and I have already lost $148,000. RecoveryHacker101, was recommended to me by a friend who is quite knowledgeable about the internet. I sent them an email, and they requested that we communicate over WhatsApp. I followed their instructions. After 32 hours of contacting RecoveryHacker101, I received a notification on my phone that my funds had been returned in full and without any stories. I am writing this because a large number of people have reported being scammed online while attempting to retrieve their money. Reach them via their email recoveryhacker101@gmailcom.

Hi everyone, I’m an entrepreneur, and when I learned about cryptocurrencies and how they potentially triple my income, I was excited to invest. I hope this message finds the correct audience. On the internet, I came across someone who assured me of exceptionally significant returns on my investment. I was readily persuaded by this man’s seeming wisdom. I quickly discovered that this cryptocurrency was a hoax and that I was unable to withdraw my money after making a substantial investment. My business was in tatters, and I owed money.Fortunately for me, a pop-up regarding cryptocurrency recovery and cybersecurity specialists that could help me get all of my money back appeared when seeking for help on the internet. This organization, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, is a cyber security and cryptocurrency recovery firm that helped me get my investment money back. I sincerely appreciate their assistance and heartily endorse them to anyone in need of cryptocurrency recovery.
