Welcome to The Wiccan Christian. I’m sure there are a lot of people who may wonder, “What exactly does that mean?” Well, I guess if there is a such thing, that’s what I am. Hi, my name is Cindy. I have started this blog to be more like a diary; with personal thoughts, quotes, biblical references, spiritual ideas, basically things I’ve come across in time, either by my own mind or the mind of another that has just stuck with me. I won’t say this blog will be organized as I am not an organizer. But I want to share my experiences with people in hopes that maybe someone will understand and actually relate to a few stories. Ive had a lot of experiences in my life that I feel I need to share. I think it removes fear and brings understanding. I suffer….okay, I won’t say “suffer”…that sounds so….empty, like there was never anything good in my life. Not the case at all. I’ve had some very wonderful experiences in life. But I too carry scars that may or may not completely heal. I’ve been hurt in the worst way I think a person can be hurt. Nevertheless, I am a survivor. Welcome to my blog. And thank you for stopping by.
I Only Know The Five Love Languages

I Only Know The Five Love Languages

Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

The Five Love Languages come from a book by Gary Chapman. The idea is that people tend to feel loved in different ways.

  1. Words of Affirmation
    • Compliments
    • Encouragement
    • Saying “I love you”
    • Expressing appreciation
    Example: “I’m proud of you” or “You mean a lot to me.”
  2. Acts of Service
    • Doing helpful things for someone
    • Running errands
    • Helping with chores
    • Taking care of responsibilities
    Example: Making dinner or fixing something that needs repair.
  3. Receiving Gifts
    • Thoughtful presents
    • Small tokens of affection
    • Souvenirs that show someone was thinking of you
    Example: Bringing home their favorite candy.
  4. Quality Time
    • Undivided attention
    • Meaningful conversations
    • Shared activities
    • Being fully present
    Example: Going for a walk together and really listening to each other.
  5. Physical Touch

    • Holding handsHugsCuddlingKissesOther appropriate physical affection

    Example: A reassuring hug after a difficult day. My love languages are receiving gifts and words of affirmation.

A quick way to figure out your primary love language is to ask yourself:

What hurts the most when it’s missing?

  • No compliments or appreciation? → Words of Affirmation
  • No help? → Acts of Service
  • No meaningful time together? → Quality Time
  • No affection? → Physical Touch
  • No thoughtful gifts? → Receiving Gifts

Which one do you think sounds the most like you?

Which love language are you?
