Little things matter
The first time my husband ever cooked something for me was on our first few months as sweethearts…it was leche flan (custard).It was good, why not?!? He made it himself, so it was extra special hehehe…
After that it was the occasional bread with do together when I bake on week ends, sometimes we’d do soy milk, or other recipes, but usually it was done together.
About two weeks ago, I’ve been wanting to sleep a little bit longer than usual on a week end, and since we do this on Sundays, where we would doze on and off until almost lunch! That particular Sunday my husband woke up much earlier than me. He and my daughter went outside the room, I thought they’d just have their morning routine in the CR.
When I went out of the room, to my surprise, he was cooking breakfast! At
9am
on a Sunday! Wow!
Now that was a small gesture, but it sure did have a great amount of deposit in my emotional bank. You see, I learned from psychologist speakers who visited us here in
Singapore
–that all of us carry an emotional bank in us. When we enter any relationship (family, friends, special someone) we need our banks to get filled. When we do, say, act nice things, out banks get filled. But when we say, act or do nasty things to each other, we withdraw some of what is in the bank. Funny, that’s what our marriage counselor told us before.
I remember a poem of Helen Steiner Rice" Little acts of kindness, mix it well with Love add a lot of Patience and Faith in God above." Now, why not think of little things to do for your love one? Because little things when added with love becomes big when it is received.
Why not? :)
