Hello Welcome to Feelings From the Heart. http://www.rrudder.com/heart <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< We started out sending the e-zine three times a week but due to the time it takes until after Christmas we are just going to send it once a week. If we can find the extra time we will try to send an extra one during the week also. If you know of anyone that would enjoy reading this please tell them about us. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< We have had a good response to the Gospel Music on the site. I plan on adding more as time allows and if you have any preferences as to fast or slow songs and will let me know I will try to add them next. These are songs our Youth Minister sings. I'm sure you will enjoy them. He sings from the Heart and I'm sure you will get a blessing listening to him. If you would like to purchase the tape I have an online order form and an order form to print out and send in. All proceeds from the sale of the tapes will go to our Tape and Youth Ministries. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< The Message Board is going kind of slow so please use it and Share your experiences and post questions on different topics such as Family Issues, Spiritual Issues, questions or problems with children and just about anything else to do with Family. There are several posts there now so please check it out, give your opinion and try to help someone. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< Please forward this to anyone that you know that might enjoy it. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< If you would like something special written for a loved one, on a topic or would like a name fixed like the one below just email us and we will quote you a very reasonable price. We hope to make enough with the special writing to help with the expenses of publishing this free e-zine. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< For today's word we are using our Youth Ministers Name. Sandy S - for all the SOULS you touch, with the songs you sing A - for ALWAYS giving your all to the service that you do for the Lord N - for all the NICE and thoughtful things you do, from the youngest to the eldest D - for always being willing to DO whether the task is large or small Y - YOU are a very dear and wonderful person, Smiles given so freely, a hug whenever needed, just simply being you makes life a better place to be for the ones around you <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< Marriage Marriage Takes a lot of give and take, sometimes you give 99% and get only 1% back. Then there are the times that there are smiles and laughter, that helps to weather the bad times. If only in a marriage we would learn to treat our Spouse as we sometimes treat others, we might find that we would have a better relationship. It seems we talk more to our friends than we do to our Spouse, so stop and take the time to become friends with the person that you live with and share life with. If we could only learn to talk instead of not talking and leaving the problems to fester and then when a disagreement happens it turns into an explosion of harsh words, that shouldn't be said. Don't let feelings go untalked about, tell each other the things that hurt, that cause things to go wrong. Give your marriage to the Lord and let him be the center of your marriage and it will make life's problems a lot easier to deal with. Stop and think before you speak, count the cost of what you're going to say, will it set off sparks, if so reword it or don't say it. Stop and think is this how I would treat a friend, a stranger even, or is this how I would act with Jesus as a guest in my home. Yes, all marriages have good and bad times, but if Jesus is the center it will go a lot better. Don't always make your partner feel they are having to choose, create a circle of love where all can fit in. Life, Marriage, without love and caring is a very empty thing. Be happy in your marriage, for that's God's plan for all of us to be at peace, not at war with our spouses.
