I have a friend who loves giving gifts. They’re mostly small things, like a book or a candy bar, but they let us know he’s thinking of us and cares for us. It’s usually not so much the gift itself that strikes me as it is the love I know is behind the giving.

How do you show your love to your spouse, your kid(s), your family?
Whatever it is, I honor you for that. Showing your love for your family is showing the love of Christ to His people.
As important as showing love to your family, so is receiving the love from your family also. Receiving the love from your family is receiving the love from Christ himself.
The challenge is to recognize the love in every action from each member of the family. That maybe a hug, a kind word of affirmation from your spouse. A kiss from your kid. A candy from your little child. A flower given to you from your husband. As simple as opening the door for you. Accompanying you in the grocery. Holding hands while walking. Quality time. A touch. A high five. The laughter. The ear, when you needed the most. Being there when you just wanted to cry.
May you be watchful and thankful in every opportunity of love in action.
Lord Jesus, help me to see every action of love from my family and friends from this moment on.
You're amazing!
