Love Bank, Moses, Worship

We have so much fun in Sunday School. We are currently seeking God and learning how to meet each others needs within the marriage relationship.

Caroline helped demonstrate the concept of the "love bank". We use chocolate kisses (in the blue basket) and fill the bank (vase) with acts of love. Each day it is important to make deposits into our mate's love bank.

Some examples, hug and kiss as you come and go, compliment each other, help with the dishes, open the car door for your wife (be a gentleman), speak the love languages.

Most important, spend time with God and allow Him to fill your heart with His love. The love you receieve from Him will overflow into your day and it will bless your mate and others.

We had a surprise visit from Moses this past Sunday. He encouraged us to honor God and to honor our husband/wife.

What a blessing to worship together with friends. God is so good to all of us. Praise his name today.

Who is Boss?

Devotional thought from Dennis Rainey

"Be selfless in the little things. Sometimes I don't want to get out of my favorite chair to help Barbara carry in the groceries, sweep the kitchen or clean a toilet bowl. But it's in these minor, everyday moments that we teach our selfish selves who is boss. This is part of what the Bible means when it tells us to "learn to do good" (Isaiah 1:17)--to constantly choose death to self, to always choose sacrificial love until it becomes our first response. "

Have you ever considered that we must teach our selfish selves who is boss? We must learn to do good. We must tell ourselves that we will not be selfish and we will chose to do good for our spouse.
Ladies, chose today to pick up his clothes (one more time perhaps) or help him with some sort of manly duty around the house. Men, get out of your chair and do the dishes, and yes, clean that toilet. This is sacrificial love. By doing these acts of service, with a happy heart, we are dying to self and declaring who is Boss. Chose today to die to self.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men. Col. 3:23

Need Help Saving Money at the Grocery Store?

Who doesn't need a little help saving money at the grocery store? Beth Moore's daughter, Melissa, has asked for some advice on the Living Proof Blog. ( Wed. Jan. 7th blog entry) You may want to check out all the comments. Have a few minutes on hand. There are a lot of comments to read. I was able to cut $20.00 a month off our phone bill yesterday. We plan on examing all our services to see if there is more unnecessary spending going on. We'll apply that to college text books. YIKES!! LOL Let us know in the comment sections if you have any money saving tips. We can all use them for sure.

His Needs Her Needs

This morning in Sunday School, we started our lessons from the book, His Needs Her Needs, by Willard F. Harley, Jr. Kynn and I highly recommend that each of you buy this book for your home library. (The public library has this book if you want to check it out for a few weeks.) These lessons are so much fun and we will learn how to affair-proof our marriages and keep the love sizzling by meeting each others needs.


"Do you know your own marital needs? Do you know the marital needs of your spouse?


The needs of men and women are similar, however their priorities are vastly different. Are you able to identify which of the following needs are his and which are hers? Out of the ten marital needs listed below, which are most important to you? In your opinion, which five are most important to your spouse?"


NEEDS
Admiration
Affection
An Attractive Spouse
Conversation
Domestic Support
Family Commitment
Financial Support
Honesty and Openness
Recreational Companionship
Sexual Fulfillment


"We will sort through these needs and discover how identifying and meeting your most important needs will deepen your love and desire for each other. We'll learn how to become irresistible to your spouse."

If you have read this book in the past, we encourage you to pull the book off the shelf and review the above needs. Practice meeting your spouces needs. You'll be glad you did. :)
