Marriage and Family

I have three good friends who left the Amish several years ago. All are brothers. Just recently, I found out that one of them was killed in a tragic accident. I was very saddened, because I didn't know if he had received eternal life or not. That's not for me to judge, but I was even more saddened when I heard how his parents handled the situation.

In every marriage, a husband or wife does something that hurts the other. It's bound to happen because none of us is perfect. And in some cases, a spouse has a habit of doing the same thing over and over again, even after the behavior is confronted.

Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. (Psalm 150:6) Wow! I have breath, do all of you others? So maybe we should burst out in song right now! In fact the whole chapter of Psalm 150 is about praising God with everything that makes noise and everything we can do!!

Howdy there, friends! Spring's almost here! It's so easy to be joyful in the spring, I think. Well, this time I'm going to be talking about a subject that is one of my weakest areas in my marriage: the fact that husband & wife are ONE. What does that actually mean?

I have to wonder, how much do we understand about love? Yes, I know we claim to know it's meaning, but do we really? About a year ago I was made aware of how little I knew about love when I heard a man teaching on it. I believe that our marriages and churches would be totally different, if we could all grasp the real meaning of love.

Greetings, sisters in Christ! My heart feels heavy to think that some of you may be experiencing difficulties in your marriages. It's only when we've traveled the valley ourselves that we can understand and sympathize with another. Sometimes we think ''there are no answers to MY problems''! But that is far from the truth.

Isn't it wonderful that God has assigned such a big job to us; to be ''AN HELPMEET''? I don't know 'bout you, but I feel pretty important when I think about that!! I wonder what the word ''helpmeet'' includes.

Dear Mary, Wow, Mary, you're a married woman by now! How does it feel?? You've been on my mind all day and I finally dropped everything and grabbed a tablet and pen to scribble a couple of lines to you.

Jack Whittaker says his life became a nightmare after he won a nearly $315 million jackpot, a prize that cost him his family and made him a target for lawsuits, thieves and people looking for easy money. "It certainly has been a curse to me," "I don't know where it will end but I don't like Jack Whittaker. I don't like the hard heart I've got. I just don't like what I've become," he said.
