- When my husband does the dishes or another job that helps me out (without me asking or reminding)
- When I wake up to an early-morning email from my mom
- When the tulips in my backyard bloom and I am reminded of a God who loves me
- When loved ones (or complete strangers) comment on my blog--I view reading my material as an "act of service"
- When I open my arms and my little boy runs at me, full speed ahead, and gives me a slobbery, slimy, snotty kiss on my "sheek!"
- When my daughter shares a memory with me of something we've done together that she enjoyed
- When I receive book recommendations from friends (or when others take my book recommendations)
- When I look back on pictures, letters, and memories of my time as an LDS missionary in Texas
- When my siblings send me funny things on facebook or via texts
- When I get hugs from my dad
10 things that make my family feel loved (in no particular order):
- When I put down the phone and just play
- When dinner is ready and waiting as soon as Daddy walks in the door
- When I take time to sit down and cuddle
- When I push my children on the swings in our backyard
- When we sing songs and pray together
- When I write about them
- When I leave little notes for them
- When I give them each kisses goodnight
- When I give up my needs for their wants
- When I tell them I love them...and my daughter says, "I know Mom! I didn't forget!" and then she asks me to tell her again tomorrow
