Labor of Love
Actions speak louder than words. Although my parents will not say it, I believe that this is their favorite motto. I seldom hear them saying “I love you.” But, I can truly feel that they love me through the things they are doing for me.
First, let’s talk about my loving mom. Every time I visit her home, she always cooks and serves me my favorite dishes. Since I live in a separate home with my kids, I still miss the things that my mom is doing for us, her children. What my mom has been doing for our family is still fresh in my mind. Her day starts early. She used to cook our breakfast before we go to school. While we are taking our meal, she would prepare our school uniform and the bags we would bring to school. When we leave for school, she would wash the dishes and clean the entire house. At midmorning, she would cook lunch for my father and my younger siblings, then washes the dishes afterwards. In the afternoon, she would go to the grocery store to buy items and food that will be needed for the next day. Then, she prepares our appetizing dinner in the evening, and washes the dishes after dinner. She even manages to help us in our assignments and lessons in school. If there will still be time, she will wash the clothes, and iron them. She retires late at night. This has been her daily routine for many years. She never gets tired, bored and burned out. Why? It is a labor of love.
Now, let’s talk about my responsible father. He is always there to help me. I can still remember him driving us to school every morning and fetching us in the afternoon when my siblings and I were still studying. My dad is just a call away. When my car got towed, he rushed to the place few minutes after I had called him. When my kid got locked up in the bedroom, he came to the rescue. During my first year of living in a separate house, he extended his assistance to us in fixing plumbing and electrical problems. That’s my dad! He never runs our of energy to help us. Why? It’s a labor of love!
There are people who express their love through acts of service. They do them without being told, because it is their nature and their love language. They feel content, fulfilled, happy and appreciated when they serve people. Loving acts are living expressions of love. They have more impact and more meaning. They will never be forgotten. They will forever be etched in the hearts of people dear to you.
Be creative in serving your loved ones. Surprise them! Know what they like. Love them in the way they want to be loved. Get out of your comfort zone and invest in your relationships. Serve your spouse a breakfast in bed. Pause from your busy schedule, and accompany your kids in their sports events, dance contests or buying their clothes. Help your friends in their chores. Feed and take care of a sick family member. Pay your parents a visit, give them a relaxing massage. Bear in mind that actions speak louder than words. Words are not enough. They should be translated into actions to make love real and tangible.
