Well, again today I can only take time to answer a few questions from the Wednesday Hodgepodge. It seems that even though parts of my life have slowed down (perhaps only temporarily), my body is also slowing down despite my best efforts to do the healthy things that make for energy. It just seems as if once I take care of my spiritual life and do a few ministry things, some meal prep and some housework, and try to fit in a little crafting time, there's not much left for blogging (other than Sunday Scripture, which is a non-negotiable for me). Of course, it may just be that this is winter.
So, forthwith, the three questions I think I can manage to answer:
3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated?
I'm going to divide this into two questions, because the same answer will not do for both.
What makes me feel loved?
Feeling cared for, taken care of.
What makes me feel appreciated?
When someone takes the time to say thank you or express appreciation in some other way.
It was interesting to me in considering these questions that just hearing the words "I love you" does not necessarily make me feel loved. But when someone says "I appreciate you because ..." or "thank you for taking the time to ..." now that does make me feel appreciated.
4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day?
A box of chocolates, no contest. If I ration them, they will last longer than the flowers.
No special plans for Valentine's Day as of yet, but we may decide to go out or have a special treat at home.
5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love.
"But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
and, for good measure ...
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:10)
Half a hodgepodge is better than none, wouldn't you agree?
