Something else I am working on this year – graciously accepting gifts. Gifts are not really my love language and for the past few years I have been unfairly projecting that onto everyone else around me, campaigning for the end of family gifts or dismissing gift lovers as superficial victims of consumer culture. When in reality... giving a gift is THE ultimate form of love for a lot of people. And it feels really unfair to reject that. It is heartbreaking to imagine giving love and having it shot down. Or hearing from someone “I know you want to try to love me in a way that feels meaningful to you, but please don’t.” Long story short – my goal this year is to remember that we all show love in different ways. And I hope to be more gracious in receiving it across the board.
