How to Love

So there are lots of verses in the Bible that tell us to LOVE, but not a lot of verses telling us specifically HOW to love. So I've decided to keep a list going of ways to show my love for my family....simple, everyday things that tell them I love them. If you're reading this and think of some of your own, please add them! I could use all the help I can get.

Ways to show my love for my family:
  • Greet them as soon as I come home or as soon as they come home
  • physical affection throughout the day (I'm good about this with Tyler and Piper, but not as much with Mark)
  • Little surprises now and then (like a little toy or a special treat from the grocery store)
  • Let Mark sleep late
  • Make a favorite meal or desert
  • Spend time with Mark at the end of the day when I really just want to go to sleep (one of his love languages is quality time....if you haven't read "The 5 Love Languages," I strongly recommend it!)
  • Play a video game with Mark (yuck, but he likes it when I show an interest in what he's doing)
More to come I'm sure...out of time right now!
