We are looking forward to Easter at the end of this month, and will be talking about the last words of Jesus as we get closer to Palm Sunday and the walk to Calvary. Yesterday I told you about the last words I heard my dad say to me before he died. They were encouraging and life giving, just as his words always were. I also remember my mom telling me about the last words my dad said to her before he died, and it was very typical of their relationship. Her name is Suzy, and he called her Suzy dear. Just before he entered heaven he said to her in a soft voice, “thank you Suzy dear.” Because she has always been a server/helper, and her love language is acts of service, no sweeter words could have been spoken. How often do you consider the love language of those to whom you speak? Being aware of love language is powerful to know, because you can speak their love language with your words. How often do you just thank people who serve you in any capacity? Do you thank the bus boy at the restaurant for clearing your table after you have eaten? Do you thank the mail man/woman (in our case) for bringing the mail to you everyday? Are you polite in your own home with your family saying thank you and please? With our words in our home, we can set the tone of how our family treats others. Let’s use respectful words and speak kindly at home, so that our children can make us proud when we are not around, by speaking the same way if we were there. Always express your love to your loved ones when ever you say goodbye. Showing affection with a kiss and/or a hug sends your loved one off with their love tank full.
