The Gospel Valentine’s Day Card
This Valentine’s Day card is a bit different from other cards out there. By using one of the most famous verses from the Bible, spread the good news as you spread God’s love. Let others know that God loves them so much that He would give up His one and only son. By arranging the verse (John 3:16), you will be able to spell “Valentine.”
Materials:
*Regular sized card paper
*Pens/colored pencils
*Additional decorative materials
Instructions:
First, spell out the word “Valentine” vertically in middle of the paper.
Next, line the verse according to each letter of the word.
You may choose any font you want to draw.
Decorate the card with any colors that you see fit. Also, decorate the card with any other additional decoration you may have (ex. stickers).
Lastly, don’t forget to write “John 3:16” on the bottom of the card.
The Sweet Pretzels
Hand out sweet treats to those you love!
Ingredients & Materials:
*Bag of pretzels
*Hershey's Kisses
*Small ziplock bags
Instructions:
Firstly, on a microwaveable plate, lay down the pretzels, and put one 'kiss' on top of the pretzel.
Then, put it in the microwave for fifty-five seconds (you want the chocolate to be gooey).
Next, when the chocolate has melted, take it out of the microwave and let it cool. When it’s cooled completely, the chocolate should be hardened. Put it in a ziplock bag with a note and hand it to the recipient.
Optional: Get a pink Valentine’s Day M&M’s and put it on top of the melted chocolate.

6) If you’re of the age to work (16 is the typical age) then try to apply to a store that you love! If you’re hired, you are able to get all different kinds of employee discounts!
7) If your mall is similar to mine then it is such a drag! Sure, my mall has the usual stores most girls like to shop at, but they are barely stocked with the items we want! That is where online shopping comes in handy. You can even find products that are only sold online, which is totally awesome because it can make you feel exclusive! Also, if you sign up for certain online store newsletters, they can email you online discounts and coupons! (Yes I said it, coupons. They do come in handy).
This is it! You’re on your own now, darlings. I expect you to be smart about your shopping. Keep in mind the Proverbs 31 woman. Sure, she would love to have that cardigan in her closet, but if it does not fit her budget she shall walk away and find a better item. We’re growing Princesses turning into Queens, and we can’t always rely on our parents or family members for money. It’s time to be smart, be strong, and be thoughtful as we shop for the cutest products. And guess what? You will not end up with the royal bill.

-Spread The Love-
by Jinsil K. (Read her bio on page 42 as well.)
God Almighty, the King of Kings, the Creator of the Universe calls us His children. We must understand that we are His heirs to the throne. We are princesses that need to watch over the Kingdom and share the love that we receive from our Father.
I grew up listening to many princess stories when I was younger. However, my personal favorites were the stories about a kind princess...the one who loved her people and displayed it through her actions. She was never boastful or proud, nor was she envious of anyone. She provided for those in need, always being patient with others, and treated everyone with respect. She showered others with love and care, because she knew that her father cares for them. Through the love of the princess and the King, the kingdom flourished for all eternity.
Just like the righteous princess, you are called to love others. Spread the love with simple actions, and remind those around you that they are loved. The power of love is phenomena,l and you will be surprised by how much a small amount of love can influence a person. As Valentine’s Day approaches, I want to challenge all of you to spread the love of God to those around you. Romance is not a requirement for Valentine’s Day. It can be used to display your love for those you care about, such as friends, family and neighbors. Here are some ideas to spread the love on Valentine’s Day (and every day!)
