Cherished
Once in a while, when I listen to a song like this, I feel cherished. I mean, I actually feel it, physically. It is that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, when you know you are loved.
But that feeling doesn’t last all too often in our lives, does it? When reality buzzes in, the feeling vanishes and we tend to forget we are loved and cherished by our Father above.
All that made me think of how often I make my husband and sons feel cherished at home. Sure I cook, do their laundry, try to take care of their needs… But how often do I give my husband a proper kiss, instead of the more common 2-second peck? How often do I really hug my kids more than 5 seconds at a stretch?
So today, I am going to make my family feel cherished. I am going to kiss my husband as soon as he walks in the door… for so long, that he’s going to have to come up for air {blush!} And I’m gonna hug my boys so tight, they’ll struggle to let go. This might not happen everyday, but it sure is going to happen more often!
How are you going to make your loved ones feel cherished today?

very good reminder – we long to feel cherished, but are we investing in cherishing others??? thanks – and have an awesome weekend.
It’s always better to give than to receive, right?! 🙂 Have a great week ahead, Richelle.
Definitely a neat reminder to have – may we communicate the cherished-ness of those we love in new ways!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I think your idea to hug your kids until they squirm and kiss your husband long is really sweet and definitely cherishing. Nice to meet you!
