LOVE LANGUAGES

Hello again....Yes, I have been away. I had the privilege of going to Florida last week where I met my mom and sister at a spa. It was GLORIOUS!

Why Florida and why a spa?

Two simple words...LOVE LANGUAGE

Last February I started thinking about what I would like to give my mom for her 70th birthday, which is this month. What would really mean allot to her? I pulled the well worn,dog-eared book from my self that has been a great help and inspiration for me for several years.

The Five Love Languages: by Gary Chapman

It is on my Must read list...Gary Chapman talks about the 5 love languages that communicate love to others and how to speak these languages.

The 5 are:
#1 Words of Affirmation
#2 Physical Touch
#3 Quality Time
#4 Acts of Service
#5 Gifts

His books encourages study of the languages and which ones are dominant in your loved ones life. It is fascinating and it WORKS....

One of my Mother's primary love languages is "Quality time". So hence, a trip to Florida was planned, time together...laughing,sharing,hanging out...it spoke her language...she felt loved and I was extremely blessed.

More on Love languages this week......
