WHAT’S YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE???

This was the teaching of our church’s Senior Pastor last February 24 this year. My goodness, I didn’t notice that it’s been a long time already but all I know is that this is still worth posting and sharing and worth reading especially for those individuals, friends, couples, married people and for those who are searching…that is for love… First is to take a look at ourselves and check out what defines us… Are we a person who loves to give and to share…or Are we the opposite who likes to take what is given to us… or Are we both? Well, let’s find out…

1. WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

· Saying something about the well being of that someone you love.
· Giving encouragement
· Kind Words
· Humble words - ones that do not demand

- Hmmm…I guess I can do that…but meaning every word you say means a lot of difference and that’s what makes the relationship stronger.

2. QUALITY TIME

· Giving someone your undivided attention
· Spending time at least 20 minutes per day with that person.
· It’s learning how to talk and express our feeling with that someone.

- So, do I love my work much? Coz I’m spending even more than 20 minutes per day for it??? Does that count? =)

3. RECEIVING GIFT

· Gift-giving is the fundamental expression of love.
· “You can give without loving, but you cannot Love without giving.”
· Gifts are fundamental expression of love.
· The Best Gift you can give is the gift of yourself.
·
- Need I say more???

4. ACTS OF SERVICE

· Humbling yourself and doing something for that person you love
· I.E. Cleaning the house, doing the laundry…etc… (a maid??? nah!)
· Just as simple as doing something for that someone you love, something that you really hate doing for them but you know will make them happy…so much happy coz you did it for them.

- Oh, well…let me think it through… hehehe

5. PHYSICAL TOUCH

· Communicating emotional love
· Powerful vehicle for communicating love.
· A Touch, Love expressed, hug
· Assurance of love

- I agree… a simple hug can assure a person that they are not alone and everything will be alright.

"help me remember"

it's been a while and i'm trying to remember
the way things used to be
when you were still with me...

in every way, i still feel the same
knowing that the pact we've made
...will forever be...

together on a journey
but going through it apart
the only thing that matters;
we're connected by the heart

the paths covered by fog
and we used to stumble
with only words, messages & calls
leaving us hanging on the edge.

sometimes i see myself thinking
"is this worth going through?"
when i can leave things for a while
then stay...

i know i won't let go,
i'll be loyal to my word
but living on worlds apart...
is a risk too hard to take.

remind me everytime how much i have loved
help me remember how much i've cared
even though challenged by a blinding road,
the moment you return i will still be there.

and yes i'm still here as i reminisce our days
love keeps me strong...let it not fade.
