Ordinary to Extraordinary: Surprise
Have your ever taken the 5 love languages test to find out what your love language is? It is nice to find out what you already intrinsically know about yourself, but what is even better is when your kids and your husband take it.
Learning how to love well means learning how they love to be be loved!
I would have to say the results were not surprising, but they were eye opening. Eye opening because my eyes tend to be focused on how I love best, what is comfortable for me.
". . . love does not seek it's own . . . " 1 Corinthians 13:5
But what is comfortable for me may not be the love language that reaches the heart of my husband, my son, and my two daughters. And I want to capture their hearts with my actions and my words.
MAYBE YOU WANT TO DO THAT FOR YOUR FAMILY TOO.
So take the test and have your family members take it. The link is HERE. It doesn't take long and the results are emailed to you. I had my son, who has his own email address, email me his results.
Surprise your family members with little things that capture the language of their heart.
Your ordinary acts of love may not have had the extraordinary results you were hoping for, especially if you have teenagers. But acting intentionally in the ordinary moments of life according to their love language could reap some extraordinary results.

O - We received a gift from my mom with a package of Oreos inside. Our family had more quality time with an Oreo cookie party with various flavors of Oreo cookies. My daughter blindfolded each of us and gave us a different flavored Oreo and we had to guess which flavor it was. Sweet Times!
