[Lady Eveline]

If I want to show appreciation to Benedict for selectingme to be his wife (as I should), then I will have the cook make him all of his favorite dishes and then go tend to my wifely duties for him after supper, as God intends. (Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.)

I do not need a devilish and lustful "holiday" to tell me when and how I should keep my husband happy, and I certainly will not allow my daughter to get these foolish ideas about sending "valentines" to a boy with the intention for unsupervised "romance"!

When the time comes for her to be married off, my husband (or, if he isn't around or able, my brother) will pick a suitable male with biblical knowledge and an adequate financial record to support a family.

Does your husband not have a brother?

His only brother is deceased.

If I can produce a boy while still in my childbearing years, then I can free my brother of that burden.

“He leaned over and whispered in her ear
“‘My Darling, will you be my Valentine?’”

this one doesn't even rhyme!


“You're my
“Vivacious
“Admired
“Loved
“Enchanting
“Near-to-my-heart
“Talented
“Intriguing
“Never forgotten
“Effervescent”

“You are my sweetest temptation!
“I wish we always look forward in one direction!
“You are my love, my soulmate and best friend,
“My love for you will never reach an end!”

utter bilge —— how can you look forward in more than one direction? by looking sideways? but at least it rhymes


“I love you for a lifetime
“Not only for a day
“I love you for who you are,
“Not what you do or say.”

the mind boggles

MONET

“‘You're the beauty in the sunrise,
“‘The soft warmth shining in the trees.
“‘Joyful lightness that's in your eyes,
“‘The slightest tingling from the breeze.’

“‘You're birds singing on a spring day,
“‘Beauty, peace, love and art...
“‘My music, my love, my Monet.
“‘You're my joy, my muse, my heart.’”

Monet is an 1840s draft dodger in case you're wondering but as for the rest of this content . . .

“If ever two were one, then surely we.
“If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
“If ever wife was happy in a man,
“Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
“I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
“Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
“My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
“Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
“Thy love is such I can no way repay;
“The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
“Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
“That when we live no more, we may live ever.”

rhyming quench with recompense is bad enough but persever? maudlin is simply not the word


For any project, a little research is encouraged. To manufacture a Valentine card, some idea of the poetry involved is necessary and by reading the sort of drivel in cards on shelves a reasonable appreciation of what's expected would be gleaned. I can't continue reading this stuff BUT the most important aspect seems that living forever is a gift from Christ NOT riches of the East or unquenchable rivers of fleshly love which this must be if it affects one like soft warmth shining in the trees, whatever that's supposed to mean, or tingling of the skin in wind which reminds me of hailstones the other day when I was caught out in it.

This is blatant propaganda.

Those dirty cards start children on a lifetime of promiscuity!

Each year we were given a list of our classmates so our parents could put names on the cards we placed in our valentine boxes, hand made. Boys gave to other boys as well as girls. Could this have contributed to the gay scourge America faces? Of course it didn't affect me. I fear however that other boys weren't covered by the Blood and went on to practice gayism.

What is a valentine box?

[BrotherLarry]

Usually a shoe box covered in red paper with hearts and cupids all over. A slit for depositing cards was placed on top.

Yuk! Sounds awful. "Valentine's." "Beltane." "Lammas." "Hallowe'en." Is there anything heathens won't celebrate with dressing up and intoxication?
