Receiving Love

"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us."
1 John 3:1

Some people find it easier to give love than to receive it. But you cannot pour from an empty cup. Let yourself be loved today.

Prayer

Father, help me receive Your love. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

Each person tells the others one way they like to be loved, such as a hug, a note or time together. Then everyone gives one of those today. Read 1 John 3:1.
