I only want four little things. That’s it. Just four little emotional acts. The list is short and simple. And may I have them everyday?

1. I want to seen 

Notice me. Spot me. Please see me. Look at me. When you do- smile and light up with delight. 

2. I want to be enjoyed

Appreciate me. Value my company.  Be grateful.  Find joy in me. And, belly laugh with me.

3. I want to be loved

Speak of my value. Think of me. Seek me out. Walk alongside me. Hug and kiss me.

4. I want to belong

Anticipate my arrival. Greet me. Welcome me. Make it seem incomplete without my participation. Make me feel at home.  

Close:

Okay. Maybe there are more things on the list. But these acts bless my heart.

Prayer:

Father, thank you for seeing me, enjoying me, loving me and giving me a place to belong. Amen.

Scripture:

In my Father’s house are many rooms… I am going there to prepare a place for you.— John 14:2 (NIV)
