Philemon 1:4-5, "I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, becaue I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints."
I thank the Lord for the people that He has placed in the lives of my family who continually bless us. Either by their love , their generosity or their prayers. I tend to lend my mind toward those EGR people (extra grace required- Rick Warren's, not my own) and dwell on the ones who give me fits. May the Lord help me to be more aware of those that are a blessing to my family and to be more thankful for how He uses them to bless us. And in turn, that my eyes would be opened to opportunities to love them back. Often we tell our girls that you can show love by your actions. May I be more aware of how to show love in action.
What are some ways that you try to show love in action?

I try to rub my wife's feet and back every day, buy her random gifts, shower her with love and affection... you name it. Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.
I clean the house, and fold clothes...well, sometimes. :) hehe.

idea!

Brad-While your comment was

up issue with the whole feet
and back thing. (ahem*cough)
Mary Lou- You gave me the biggest smile this morning. Yes, peanut brittle and lou make for a whole lotta love!
I gotta work on getting me a 'glamour' shot like yours, on my profile :) However this is a love in action....our Mexico cruise
Angie,
I'm so glad you made it in the blogging world.
My love in action would be, thanking them by telling them or writing a note, praying for them, and looking for ways I can minister back to them.
Love in action can be holding your daughter in your lap and rocking her after her ceilig colapsed and ruined all her clothes and furniture. Just loving you no matter what is good too!
Love you,
Mother
Love in action to me means hugging & showing love to everyone. I have been shown so much love by action, such as my sis/cuz allowing me to live w/her since I am homeless.
This weekend, my sweet husband took care of all three kids while I attended the Beth Moore simulcast at our church. The house was clean, all three kids were fed, and even the dog had been taken out when I got home. THAT'S some sweet love right there.
i don't find something easy to show so that's why i have sisters like angie and lou, lov yall
I sent cards to all my friends as well as my family that says I care and you are special to me. I leave notes or cards in Bill's suitcase when he is traveling so he will find them when he unpacks. I send the grandkids boxes for their birthdays and other times since they are not close enough to see. They love it!
