My children grew up with love and acceptance. When my family was still whole, their father and I never fail to give those hugs and kisses and words of affirmation, I guess I can also say that we’ve showed my children these four Love Language. We give them time, whenever their father is at home, they spend time with us in bed, we talk and we joke, we even sleep together. We serve them by giving them their baths, preparing their meals, etc. Like I said, we never fail to give those hugs and kisses, and they are pampered this way. Whenever we had extra, we buy them things they need.

My daughter’s love language is Physical touch and Receiving Gifts. She likes to hug and kiss me, and she always embraces me especially when we’re walking. She’s like a monkey hanging on a branch with me, hahah! Well, I can tell that she’s a certified girly, because of the latter gift. LOL!

My son’s love language is Acts of Service. He show’s his affection through the things he do, he cooks me food, do some laundry for me (of course it doesn’t take rocket science to use the washing machine and dryer!). And his other love language is Words of Affirmation, he always need constant encouragement.

I guess, like what I learned from Harold Sala’s Train Up A Child book, our children’s lives is in our hands, and God gave us this tremendous potential to do good in their lives by bringing out the best in them. I also thank God that I have a gift of Counsel, because I am able to share the word of the Lord with my children. In time I know they will also fully accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
