The other night we hosted a meeting at our house.  If you’ve ever hosted a meeting, either at your home or at work, church, or somewhere else, you know there are challenges.  You have to stay focused and keep on task while not boring everyone out of their minds.  Here’s three ingredients we had at our meeting that could help.

1. A relaxed environment – We hung out in the living room and just had good discussion on the topics at end.  We didn’t stay too uptight but instead took an attitude of “hanging out” during the meeting.

2. An on-task person – At our meeting, this was my wife Amy.  I love having a relaxed meeting but that always presents the danger of straying off topic or not staying focused.  Amy is good at reminding me to keep at the work at hand.

3. Decaf coffee and cappuccino brownies – They taste good and food always make any meeting better.

Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly, and I finally figured out a good gift to pick up for my wife, Amy.  Except, I don’t know that gifts are what Valentine’s Day is all about.

It’s not about the cards and candies we’d set on everyone’s desks in grade school.  It’s not about celebrating S.A.Dd (Single’s Awareness Day) because you don’t have a special someone (though I did think that for a while when I was younger).  I think Valentine’s Day is a reminder about intentionality.

We throw around the term “I love you” a lot.  We say it every day to our friends, our parents, our kids, or our spouse as we run out the door.  But love is about more than three words.  It’s about a lifestyle.  When push comes to shove, our love for someone else is written in our actions.

So I encourage you to take this Valentine’s as a reminder, and a challenging question: How are you going to be intentional to those you love?
