That was the question that was asked in my study today. She suggested we ask the significant others in our lives what makes them feel loved. Me, I decided to ask you!
I most feel loved when someone else does my chore for me without asking. That may sounds crazy, but its true. If Shaun empties the dishwasher/scoops the cat box when I thought I had to do it, its such a gift! Such a simple things but it means a lot. Also, when people send me cards or emails out of the blue, or even a message on FB that says they were thinking of me. When my kids spontaneously and unprovoked give me hugs or tell me something I did for them was appreciated without me prompting. Willy's random "love you mommy"'s just melt my heart. This one probably sounds odd too - but when people actually come to me to say hello when I'm at the school for drop off or pick up. I mostly still need to run around after Willy, while most other parents get to make little chatty groups because their kids are older. I try to say hello to people as I'm passing by, but I rarely get to stop and chat. When a friend makes the effort to come to me to say hello, and hang out with me while I chase my son - it means a lot. So, in summery, its the little things. :)
