Hi! I want to tell you something about my special friend. Since we became friends, I have been her shopping companion. Every month, she invites me to accompany her in going to malls and stores, and buy stuff like cards, home decorations, shirts, perfume, food, jewelries and other things. Even though she does not have enough money sometimes, she makes it a point to shop once a month. Out of curiosity, I asked her about this intriguing monthly hobby of her. “What are these for? When will you use them?” I was surprised by her answer, “I will not use them.” “What!”, I replied, “Why are you buying things if you won’t use them? Why are you wasting your money?” With a smile on her face she answered, “They are not mine. I will give them to my friends and loved ones.” After years of accompanying her in shopping, it’s only then when I discovered that she does not miss sending gifts to her loved ones and friends on their birthdays, special occasions and holidays. She loves giving gifts as expression of her love and appreciation for a person. I believe that this is also her love language. The way we often express our love to your friends is the way we want to be loved as well.
Gifts are concrete, visible and tangible expressions of our love for others. The price of the gift does not matter. In the language of love, a brand new car has the same value as a simple card. It is the thoughts that count. What is important is that you remember the person on his/her special day. Have you experienced being ignored, left out and abandoned? It’s also the feeling when special days that mean to you are forgotten by people dear to you. There are many people in a relationship who broke up for not being remembered and not receiving gifts on their birthdays. There are many married couples who separated for consistent disregard, and not receiving gifts on their anniversaries. There are many friends who fought for not greeting each other and not receiving gifts during holidays. It may seem simple and small, but it means a lot to people whose love language is receiving gifts. It’s the fuel to his love tank. It’s the fire that ignites his heart. It’s the energy that animates his life. It’s the oxygen that sustains him. It’s everything to him.
