Not So Wordy Wednesday

What language do you speak? Love language that is. I speak the language of gifts. And fortunately for me, many people in my life either speak that language too or they’ve learned to speak “gifts” just for me.

The thing about people whose native love tongue is gifts is that we truly remember who gave us every single gift we’ve ever received. When I look at a gift, even years after I’ve received it, I see the giver every bit as much as I see the gift. To this day I remember who all gave me every piece of my china when I got married. Truly I do.

So today, with fewer words than usual anyhow, I share with you some of the people I see every day when I see the gifts they gave me.

My Sunday School Class in Texas
 

My husband James

My brother Jimmy

Katherine

My daughter Abigail

Sue

Michelle

Kim

My Dad (made the table and gave me the violet)

My Mom

My Son Daniel
I think it’s important to enjoy the gift but always remember and be grateful toward the giver of the gift. And that’s why today I encourage us to remember the Giver “of every good thing and every perfect gift” (James 1:17) as we enjoy those blessings. 
Enjoy the gift, but love the Giver.

    I'm a GIFT girl, too. And I can see the faces of the folks who gifted me everytime I see a gift. Isn't that funny how we do that?

    I'm also an Acts of Service girl. Maybe even more so than gifts. My hubby doing the dishes speaks more than diamonds any day.

    Being a frequent mover, it's the little gifts that I take from each spot that helps me have courage to make new friends when we get to the new spot.

    My love language is not gifts, so I have had to learn how to be better at giving and more gracious in receiving.

    Love your new Blog Look!

    Thanks for sharing this part of yourself with us. I found it so interesting because I'm NOT a gift person AT. ALL. I'd have to say that gifts would be on the bottom of my list of love languages. High on my list? Words of affirmation.

    Amen! This was a great post! I like giving gifts probably more than getting them. But when I do get a gift I do try to remember that the giver is always more important than the gift. 🙂
