“Love as I love you”

Love is a tough word…it can have many meanings (I love pizza…and I love Jesus). Many languages have several words for love. One of my favorite books on the subject is entitled…The 5 Love Languages. In the book there are different love languages that people speak. Remember you might show love a certain way but receive it in a different way. These languages might save us a lot of trouble if we apply them to certain persons in our lives.

1) Quality Time – Some people believe that being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is someone’s love language, turn off the TV now and then and give them some undivided attention.

2) Receiving Gifts – It is universal in human cultures to give gifts. They don’t have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. It means a lot to that person to receive or to give a gift.

3) Acts of Service – Discovering how you can best do something for someone will require time and creativity. These acts of service like vacuuming, hanging a bird feeder, planting a garden, etc., need to be done with joy in order to be perceived as a gift of love.

4) Physical Touch – Sometimes just holding hands, giving a hug, or even a simple peck on the cheek will fulfill this need.

5) Words of Affirmation – This is when you say how nice someone looks, or how great the dinner tasted. These words will also build someone’s self-image and confidence.

Peace,
