Your devotion to your loved ones can come forth in all manner of little ways today. You may find yourself reaching out to family members you have not spoken with in some time, or offering to help friends who are working on challenging projects. Consider that each time you express your love, loyalty, and trust, the bonds that exist between you and the people you care about will grow a bit tighter. If you cannot decide how it is best to show these special individuals how much you care today, consider telling them outright, in frank and open terms, or writing them a letter that outlines how much their presence in your life has meant to you thus far. They will likely appreciate your declaration of affection and return it in kind.

It is the expressions of devotion we articulate in our relationships that enable us to keep the bonds we share with our loved ones strong and healthy. Though our friendships and familial connections can bear lengthy periods in which affection is not reinforced, they can only thrive in an atmosphere of faith and tenderness. Each time we express our affectionate feelings in our words or actions, our family and friends are reminded of the special place they occupy in our hearts. We can reassure our loved ones that our feelings are enduring, and prevent any seeds of doubt from germinating, by regularly articulating a few simple words of love and by being there for them whenever they may need us. Your relationships will weather any storm when you are liberal about demonstrating your devotion today.
