love languages - acts of service

One of the books I'm reading at the moment is concerned with the love languages we can use to show our teenagers how much they mean to us. We all have different ways of being able to know we are well loved and the book shares how some of us respond best to touch, or words of praise, or gifts, or time, or acts of service. The latter is something I often appreciate - when someone does something for me. My parents would do things for me when I was young - my Dad would make me a cooked breakfast, my mum washed my clothes and I never even really noticed.
Yesterday I observed how in order to take it easy today I had to work quite hard to get extra jobs done. Yet this morning I've woken up to discover that in the night my girly had cleaned the bathroom and done a load of washing. She knows well how to show me that she cares.
Whatever signs you need to know that you too are well loved, I hope you see them today. I think they are often there abundantly, we just don't always notice.
