"And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:31
Discovery:
I never enjoyed ironing... Confession, I never did it. After I got married, my husband "cheated" by putting his ironing clothes in the dryer, which would take many crinkles out. Ironing is such a time consuming task... especially when you have three little girls and a house FULL of laundry. But, I've made a discovery: Iron clothes makes my husband happy.
Love Languages:
My husband's primary love language is "Acts of Service." (If you want to discover yours... do the quick survey here: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/. They have it for couples/singles/even children!) When we were first married, we thought his love language was "Receiving Gifts." My husband LOVES gifts, small or big. He enjoys specialty cereal and snacks, and BIG gifts like a new Seahawks jersey with the Superbowl logo on it! ;) ...but I've begun discovering that he appreciates MORE... when I give him a haircut and iron his dress clothes. He brags about it, even.
Your Relationship with GOD:
What is your favorite way to say "I love you" to God? Do you enjoy serving in a ministry? Do you enjoy spending time in His word, the BIBLE? Do you enjoy when God does something special just for you? That could be your Love Language! I really enjoy reading my Bible. It's my "Quality Time" love language. I just love being with my Saviour. I picture myself sitting at His feet and hearing Him speak.
Others:
It's important to discovery the love language of others around you. What is the love language of your family? What about those in the church? As we try to reach the world with the God's love, we need to do it in a love language they understand and love. :D
Try to figure out ways to love others in their love language. Sit by someone who seems lonely. Say an encouraging word! Give her a card or a note. Shake their hand or give her a hug. See if they need help. :) Each of these are different "Love Languages"! Give it a try this Sunday!
Discovery your love language!
Speak their (family/friends/church) love language today! :)
