    I recently was reminded of this quote.  I thought I had read it in the Mitford Series, and maybe I did because she quotes a lot of great writers in those books.  But, when I looked it up, the credit is given to writer Jody Picoult in her book Handle With Care, so that is who we have credited it to.  Here is the quote: 
When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.
     Once, when I was visiting with my sister, Sandi, she told me that she loved that she could tell how much my husband  loves me by the way he looks at me and says my name.  I already knew that he loves me, but when she told me that, it made me take more notice and appreciate the way he does show his love for me in ways that he doesn't even realize himself.  It made me wonder if I showed my love for him in the same way.  Do I keep his name safe in my mouth?
  • Do I speak of him and to him lovingly?
  • Do I avoid speaking negatively of him to others?
  • Do I tell him that I love him often enough?
  • Do I compliment him?
  • Do I thank him for all that he does for me and for loving me? 
​   
     I shared Ms. Picoult's quote with friends on Facebook and two of my friends gave me even more perspective on this thought of being safe when we are loved, and keeping other's names safe as well. 
  1. Aside from spouses or significant others, how safe do we keep the names of all people that we love, family members and friends. 
  2. When we think of the Fourth of the Ten Commandments, which is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain," our perspective changes when we think of the main reason to keep that commandment is out of love for the Lord.  Do we shout the name of those we love in anger?  I have, but I shouldn't and I am trying hard not to do it anymore.
​
     I talked to my girls about this quote and the thoughts it brought to mind and we decided that it is a perfect quote for Valentine's Day.  Alicia, who is becoming quite a pro on Canva, designed 4 styles of this quote for you to print and frame for your own home. The actual quote was a little long for an
8 x 10 printable, so we shortened it, but the message still comes across.   We hope this thought will be a wonderful reminder of how we should show love to one another in our homes and in our dealings with loved ones and, well,  everyone really! 
     You can choose which style you would like to print simply by clicking on the photos below.  You will receive a PDF copy to print.  Then, just trim it up to fit into an 8 x 10 inch frame!
