How Do You Love?
By Sandra Abell
Yesterday I broke a crystal vase that was important to me. Someone I love gave it to me, and I was really upset with my clumsiness.
My husband, seeing my distress, was soothing and calm, and said, "Let me see what I can do with this." While I continued to rant at myself, he quietly took the pieces away, worked his magic and made it like new again. When he brought it back to me his face was filled with sweetness, and it occurred to me that this repaired vase was a gift of love.
I began thinking about all the ways he shows me he loves me. Words are nice, but his actions speak volumes, and I'm so very blessed to have him in my life.
I then thought of a woman I know who complains that her husband and children don't love her. She says they never say it, and she feels that nobody cares. However, when I look at her family I realize that there is a lot of love being given. She just doesn't recognize it so doesn't know how to receive it.
When her husband goes to work at a job he doesn't like, so that she can do what she wants, which is stay home and raise the children, that's a gift of love. When her adolescent son offers to pick up something at the store so she won't have to pack up the smaller kids to go out, that is his way of telling her he loves her.
Love is all around us, but we're often like my friend who expects it to come in a specific form. When it doesn't, we miss it and feel unloved.
So this month I'm reflecting on being aware of ALL the ways people show me love, and being happy to receive it in whatever form it's given. How about you?

 | | There is no denying that actions speak louder than words and when the actions and the words don't match up, it is the actions that I would believe. For those not comfortable saying the words now, it took my husband being diagnosed with cancer to start saying the words in addition to showing me through his actions. On what turned out to be the night before he died, he told me he wished he'd said "I love you" more throughout the years. The words and actions in agreement bring the most joy.

| | |  | | Truly inspirational Robyn. Liked and tweeted for you my dear friend. I hope you have a Very Happy Easter. Jack |
| | |  | | This is great Robyn. It reminds me on myself a year ago. I know where my heart is and I know she feels the same. And we have our baby to prove it. |
| | |  | | Love is just a word to describe physical and mental feelings. However there is such a thing as primordial love that can only be experienced if one is lucky enough to be embraced with it by God. Just a drop of it and you never forget it. Never judge a book by its cover. May God have mercy on us all. |
| | |  | | This post really touched my heart. You are a special person Robyn because you are gifted and your sensitivity is remarkable, and this is going to be shared out to the universe. Your heart is beautiful. ~Terri Pattio - MLM Coach/Mentor with a servant's heart |
| | |  | | So true Robyn. Not everyone is comfortable saying the words, "I love you." But if they demonstrate their love, they speak louder than the words themselves. Thank you for sharing this. You've reminded me to be "looking for love" in all the right places. |
