How Do You Learn/Love?

Day 38 CoverDifferent people learn in different ways.  Some people are kinesthetic learners.  They learn by action.  They remember what they physically do.  So when teaching them something incorporating actions is key.  Others learn visually.  These people need to see the picture to grasp the concept.  Still others learn by hearing.  They benefit from listening to a lecture.

Perhaps everyone is a little bit of each mode but certain people thrive with one predominant mode.  As a teacher I am constantly trying not only to teach using different styles or modes of learning but also to use different modes when I am learning something.  I find this accelerates my learning.

But did you know that different people love in different ways?  Gary Chapman wrote a book that talks about the 5 primary love languages he discovered.  You can learn about them here.  But my brief focus is this:  What if you’ve been trying to love people with the wrong language.  What if you’ve been giving your wife hugs but her love language is gifts.  You can give her all the hugs in the world but when someone else gives her a gift and that’s her love language she may think they care more about her than you do.  Or maybe you are trying to be loving to a neighbor, co-worker, relative or friend who doesn’t get it because you aren’t speaking their love language.

So my challenge for today is for you to discover your love language and look for clues to discover the love language of those you wish to impact.  By the way, I hope you try to improve your learning process by using multiple modes as well.  And if no one else told you today, I LOVE YOU, and GOD LOVES YOU MORE!!!  See you on Day 39!
