What's our Cell Group's Love Language? Stay tuned! That's coming right after the commercial break! Haha no la just pulling your leg

as the birthday coordinator of the cell group, I took down everybody's love language, easier to make the person feel loved on the day of the bday! So everybody, read on & remember each other's love language!

1) Irene:
It depends on situation, timing. But if she has to choose, she will choose words of affirmation as the primary love language.

2) Fiona:
Primary: Acts of service and Secondary: Quality Time

3) William:
Primary: Words of Affirmation Secondary: Quality Time ie Physical Presence in time of need is important

4) Esther:
Primary: Quality Time & Secondary: Gift Giving. She loves heart to heart talk and deep sharing.

5) Michelle:
Primary: Quality time. she loves having khaki calling her in the middle of the night to ask her to go for a drink or cheong. haha, but don't start calling her in the middle of the night to disturb her :P she also loves buying gifts for others, but she is quite particular about the gifts she receive, so must observe carefully what she likes, dont buy the wrong thing for her! haha

6) Nicole:
Gift giving and words of affirmation

7) Neo:
Words of affirmation and acts of service

8) Robin
Gift Giving and Physical touch. Robin mentioned that he is a person who doesn't really talk much therefore gift giving is a sure way to show you care. And between guys, physical touch like a pat on the back means alot to him

9) Jimmy: Quality time and words of affirmation. He loves sharing a good cuppa with friends and chatting and catching up with them

10) Sharon:
words of affirmation from people she trusts, gift receiving - she loves surprises that she can't sniff out and it's truly a surprise.

11) Jane
Acts of service, gift giving

12) Sue
Quality time and physical touch (I love hugs!)

13) Priscilla
it depends on situation also, but Quality time and physical presence - listening and just being there is important

Some ideas to show the Five Love Languages:

1) Words of Affirmation
Praise people: when you notice something special about that person, be it dressing, or new hairstyle, a job well done, etc

write letters/notes/cards for people

sms : even a short sms of appreciation means alot

through blogging

Irene mentioned her experience with her children. when the kids quarrel, she will make them stand in front of each other and say ten things they love about each other. this, I thought, was quite a refreshing way of "disciplining" your kids. Make them think of the good things instead of the negative. And she said that whatever God has blessed you with ie. speech, you can use it to bless others. How true!

Quality Time

- Sacrifice of time, even though it's inconvenient, you still make the effort to spend time with the person and just being there in the moment of crisis
- accept the person as they are through fellowshipping with them

Gift Giving
- it's more blessed to give than to receive!
- personalizing a gift - handmade
- Through observation, you can notice what the other person needs or requires, you can get it for the person
- Spring surprises for the person

Acts of Service
- Visit old folks' home
- irene mentioned that when she visits her friends, her friends help her in many ways like carrying the bag, baby sitting or taking care of her kids while she eat, this, to her, is an act of service

Physical Touch
- it's a matter of developing the habit of showing physical affection thru hugs. but for some people this might be uncomfortable. So gotta see who you get close to and get into their personal space.
