Thinking of You
How many people don’t like getting a present, a card, or any other nice little surprise or gesture of love?
I am not talking about when there is an occasion such as a birthday, or Christmas. I am talking about when it is just because the person was thinking of you, and wanted you to know it. They wanted to give you something that they thought you would like, because they love you.
Personally, I love this kind of present. (or any other kind for that matter…hey, I’m a kid at heart)
Yesterday Dan called me during the workday, and said “I got you something!”
I asked him “What?” , but he said I would have to wait until he got home.
What a tease!!!
He usually gets me flowers, so I knew that wouldn’t be it because he wouldn’t have said anything.
When he got home, he handed me a box. I was shocked!
He bought me something he had NEVER bought on his own before.
A pair of sandals- the right size too.
I know it may not seem like a big deal, and it really isn’t.
The big deal is that he makes sure he lets me know he thinks of me. Dan is very thoughtful, and I try to do the same for him. We give eachother cards, silly notes, text messages, anything we can think of to let the other know we were thinking of them, and love them.
This is one element of marriage that needs to be done on purpose- being thoughtful of what eachother would like, and keeping the romance going by actively letting the other know they are thought of during the day.
A little giving can go a long way.

Giving gifts is one of the five love languages, and I think it means much more to the person who has that as his/her love language. Not that I don’t appreciate gifts, but acts of service mean much more to me.

Let me start by saying I hate Crocs…the shoes. I think they should be put in a pile and burned. So when I bought my wife a pair…yes it wasn’t a big thing in the grand scheme, but it meant alot to her.
