love in action

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?
