Keeping Your Family's Love Bank Full
Does anyone live in a family where there is never a disagreement?  I think not.  Disagreements surface between husband and wife, parents and child, child and child, and members of extended family.  And oftentimes, the disagreement develops into harsh words and attitude that betrays love.  This has come to be described as a withdrawal from the person's 'Love Bank'.  Well, I don't have to tell you that to make withdrawals from a bank without making deposits soon creates a problem.  This is true with the 'Love Bank'.  Constant deposits need to be made, keeping the 'Love Bank' full.

Inside every person

is an 'emotional tank' desiring

to be filled with

love.

Take some time to write down as many ways as you can of how you can make deposits into the Love Bank of someone you love.  Here's one for starters:  Speak some kind and affirming words to that special person once every hour for one full day.  Someone has said that three billion people in our world go to bed every night hungry--but that four billion people go to bed every night hungry for some word of encouragement and affirmation.  Don't let that be one of your loved ones.

We admit that we are living in a very negative culture today.  It's easy to see all the things and ways that need to be changed.  But, don't be blind in the "GOOD" eye.  You can change your world by being intentional in seeing the 'good' in those you love and making it known to them... and if you want to double the effect, just tell them in the presence of other people.

So go ahead now...

Fill up someone's Love Bank.
