Love and Service

Love - All we need is love. Easy song to sing, hard to do. I did a styles of love quiz today - which is very irritating when it talks endlessly about "your partner" and you haven't got one but would like one. That's a different story. Anyway I did the quiz and the results didn't surprise me. Apparently I work with "emotional style of love". Yep I know, see my shopping bills for the number of boxes of tissues I buy. I also tend to show this love by acts of service ( doing stuff for people).

The results of these quizes are, in my opinion, not to be taken as diagnoses. It did however bring an awareness as to why I do some of the things I do. eg last night I made a single portion Lasagne for a friend. I enjoy cooking and know her well enough to know she'll enjoy the meal. I realised I was showing love through an act of service. The quiz helped me see the why. Not sure what I will do with that knowledge now I have it - but I understand myself a bit better, and maybe I will be able to understand other people's acts of love a little clearer - and with less judgement
