“Love may be the best idea that every came
along.”
Love is our theme for this week. How are we loving each other?
Google “love” and many things come up on
your search engine. Things that make us
chuckle but also make me sad inside. The
top looked at websites are what Google brings up as the first few links for you
to click on. Everything from quotes to a
love calculator came up today.
We have a tendency to look for love in all
the wrong places (quarter to anyone who can name the song without looking it up). We sing about love, talk about love, and
demand or expect love. We seek for love
in ways that sometimes are not the most Godly.
The way we love each other and ourselves affect
the way that our children love us, their friends and themselves.
Love is amazing and next week we will talk
about our Father’s love but this week lets focus on the love we have for each
other.
One of God’s commandments to us is to love
one another. Greatest commandment is to
love God and love others. It isn’t just
the best idea that came along but it is God’s idea! He is the one who came up with it, designed
it and fills our cups with it.
We however have the choice to love. It isn’t demanded of us. It is our choice to love or not to love. And sometimes, even if we do love someone
they don’t feel like we do. When we love
someone for their well-being and not for what we will get out of it. We are showing them unconditional love.
The youth a few months ago learned how to
love each other better by learning each other’s love language. Our love language is how we receive love. Even children have a love language. You can discover your love language at this
website: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/.
There are
five love languages:
1.
Words of Affirmation
2.
Acts of Service
3.
Receiving Gifts
4.
Quality Time
5.
Physical Touch
Here are some photos to help you to
understand what the love languages are and how they affect us.
How will you speak your child, spouses or co workers love language this week?
