Hi Sweet Friends
Happy Heart Day
I'm sure most of us have read
Gary Chapmans' Book
The 5 Love Languages
1. Acts Of Service
2. Gifts
3. Physical Touch
4. Quality Time
5. Words of Affirmation
Many years ago I read the book
And found my Love Language to be
Gifts
Surprised?
No!!
I have, though, always been embarrassed of that gift
I feel like it makes me a 'materialistic' person
Yet, I personally don't think it has anything to do with that
I've read enough to know
That it really is just what makes us tic
Anyway,
Being a 'Gift' person
Doesn't just mean I like to 'get' gifts
It also means that I LOVE to Give Gifts
For the past two weeks I've been
Gathering the items needed to make my
Annual goodies for the staff
That work at the office I work in
I totally Love to make little Valentine gifts for the girls
Even the act of putting these together makes me happy
Creating the little tags and
Adding the goodies
IE: candy, confetti, sequins, etc
Gives me JOY
Friday I took these cute little bags of goodies
Into the office and gave one to each employee
I just love handing them out
What surprised me this year
Is that I never really even thought of getting anything
I usually don't get anything
BUT
This Year
I was surprised
I received a package on Thursday
From Kris
Who sent a wonderful bag of treats
And a great coloring book
Color Me Happy
I Say
Thank you KRIS
On Friday I received another package from Stephanie
She sent a sweet hand made Mug Rug
I didn't have one and LOVE this beautiful piece
I will enjoy using it daily
Thank you STEPHANIE
As I was preparing to leave the house Saturday morning
I heard a knock on the door
Surprise
A friend from work stopped by to share
A couple of her beautiful roses with me
Thank you DIANNE
While babysitting my granddaughters on Saturday
My K~Bel gave me this totally cute
Ponies Valentine Card
I cannot remember the last time I got such a cute 'real'
Valentine Card
Thank you K~BEL
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Luke 6:38
I never decide to give so it will be given back
However, I am So very grateful that God has
Chosen to place people in my life
Who have blessed me so
May your Heart Day
Be Blessed
So You can be a Blessing to someone Else!!

Cindy, Getting gifts is fun, but giving is a joy in itself. To make someone smile and feel loved is wonderful. So enjoy your gifts because someone wanted you to smile too. Blessings to you , xoxo,Susie

You are so kind and sweet, Cindy, and that is why people show kindness to you. Your little gifts for the office staff were so adorable. Hang in there, God is watching over you.

Cindy, I well remember reading that book decades ago-I used to think mine was gifts-but truly I think it is quality time with a little bit of words of affirmation thrown in. What lovely gifts you made and received from your coworkers. No doubt about it, you are an incredible friend! Sending love your way.

Precious! I haven't been able to see your posts. I don't know why. This is so sweet. My gift is affirmation.
