5 Keys to Love

Pastor Mike challenged us on Sunday to live out the 5 keys of Love in our relationships. Take a look at your important relationships and ask yourself what love language do they speak. Some of us will find some of these areas easy to accomplish. Others will have to go outside of their human nature or comfort zone to speak love into some one's life. What are you doing to make sure that the tank of your loved ones are being filled?

Here are a few challenges from our message on Sunday.

1. Words of affirmation
* Are you speaking affirming words in the lives of those around you?
* Are you seeking to build up rather than tear down?

2. Time - Quality above quantity
* Are you carving out the time for your relationships?
* Does your spouse know that you consider them top priority?
* Do your children know that you long to spend time with them while you have them in your care?
* Do your friends know that they are important enough for a catch up call, dinner or coffee?

3. Surprises
* Sometime it's the little things in life that can mean the most.

4. Acts of Service
* What burden can you lift from your spouse, children, friend or co-workers shoulder today by performing an act of service?

5. Touch
* When was the last time you held hands or hugged just because with your spouse?
* Who around you is longing just for a hand shake, a touch on the shoulder or pat on the back?

What are some things that you have done this week to love those around you?
