VALENTINE’s DAY

February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, yet the truth behind the person of St Valentine is shrouded in mystery and you will find multiple possible references to origins in the Christian faith or in Roman traditions. Either way, February 14^th has become a day to express love.

Thought I would share with you some ways in which our students have completed the sentence “Love Is …”  

For the full blog post see: https://medwaystudents.blogspot.com/search?q=valentine%27s

  

Love is ignoring superficial imperfections.

Love is an endless act of forgiveness.

Love is walking together on the

journey of life.

Love is what holds you when you can’t

take it anymore.

Love is a feeling of warmth in the midst

of the wildest storms.

Love is the ultimate gift, it is living

for each other.

Love is a warm cup of tea after a stressful day.

Love is the comfort of knowing you

are cared for.

Love is a language … you will understand it, even if you don’t know its alphabet.

Love is sacred and eternal.

Our Bargain Corner is a very successful sustainability project run by Chaplaincy. We sell good-quality, pre-owned items such as bedding and kitchenware. Plus stationery items, and occasional winter clothing sales. Items are cheaply priced and money raised is fed back into student-related activities.

It is located in Pilkington. Payment is by cash only! Contact Lynne or simply call by.  For more information regarding what’s on offer: https://medwaystudents.blogspot.com/p/bargain-corner.html 

Sometimes you will never know

the value of a moment,

until it becomes a memory.
