Language of Love

A friend of mine has gone through a seminar which was required of them (she and her husband) before getting married early this year. She explained to me that people have different ways of expressing their love to people, whether romantic love or love for family and friends. Then, I saw a page from our Leadership Training held last year. I never really thought about it until it became applicable...

---
Physical Touch
(hugs and kisses are the best way to express these)

Words of Affirmation
(words of affection and endearment, words of praise and encouragement, words that give positive guidance all say "I care about you.")

Quality Time
(being together is more important than what you are doing)

Gifts
(may not always be deserved or expensive but something that gives a gesture of love and sincerity)

Acts of Service
(acts done freely without coercion or counting the cost -- serving with joy)

From the book: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

So, which language of love do you use?

Light and Easy

Thought for the day (c/o Debbie Uy)...

Good Morning

Light and Easy As we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. When I stop fretting about things that are beyond my control and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, my life can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride.

From One Tree Hill - Episode 513 - Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace

Peyton: Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want.

Lucas: Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true.

Peyton: But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to possibility of it, to the certainty of it.

Brooke: You just might get the thing you're wishing for.

Nathan: The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?

Haley: Good. Now believe in it, with all your heart...
