One of the cool things about the newer cell phones now is the voice notes feature. You are able to record small notes to your phone such as a reminder, create a ringtone of your kids talking, grocery list, etc. Recently I started recording small notes to send to my wife through text message. It is a modern day note on the pillow/on the mirror. My wife keeps her phone on her nightstand, so in the morning as she gets up I have been sending a voice note to let her know I was thinking about her, that I loved her, and how great of a wife and mom she has been and will continue to be. It isn’t anything extremely new, but I can tell you my wife loves it. She is a stay at home mom that is watching over all 3 of our kids, and the few seconds she gets of encouragement makes her day a little brighter.
So when was the last time you found creative ways to let your spouse know that you love them? Or when was the last time you told your parents or a close friend how important they are to you?
Get creative, and think of ways to praise the people that influence you the most. Just remember too that sometimes the simple notes are just as spectacular as extravagant gifts!
