All day long on Sunday I was watching the different expressions of love that were happening. It's interesting to watch the way we express love in our family.
The love languages are allegedly:
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
Food (just kidding)
I believe that love is a choice as much as it is a feeling or a decision.
Tim is always hugging the grands and of course giving them quality time. He gives words of affirmation to everyone. He is always making sure I feel loved, not with gifts but with acts of service.
Christopher loves to give gifts, they are always carefully thought out. He doesn't wait for special occasions, his gifts come all through the year! He also gives words of affirmation and many acts of service. He likes spending time with Mark and Tim. He makes gourmet meals for friends and family. He gives me a hug most of the time!
Mark shows love with his time. He loves to play with his boys and be with his family. He likes to spend time with Chris and Tim. They enjoy watching sports together or playing games. He always thanks me for helping with the boys and after we have had a family dinner. He gives nice hugs occasionally! He serves his wife and children on a daily basis.
Tiffani, well she demonstrates ALL the love languages very well. She is a busy Mom but she gives the her boys quality time. Her love for them is evident in all she does.
Cash, Colby and Grey know all about love. It comes so naturally to them and we are the recipients of their sweetness.
I know that we are not always perfect with the way we express love. We can always be aware and try to improve. Sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes you are just having one of those days. I think we all have little quirks, and when one of them surfaces, I always want to be forgiving. At the end of the day, it's still all about family.
I helped Grey stand by the chair. He loved it, he's getting so big!
Cash is really the most clever boy. He used the Squigs and the container to make a fun alien!
And what would Father's Day be without a little harmonica and trumpet concert.
Oh and some of Tim's famous strawberry ice cream!
Happy Father's Day Tim and Mark!
Happy Father's Day Tim and Mark!
