A Christmas Free from Stress

1 Comment / Holidays, Stress, Worry, Anxiety /

The holiday season spanning from Thanksgiving through Christmas is a stressful time for many.

Instead of taking the time to enjoy our families and what each of these holidays actually represent, we spend most of it worrying about the many things that need to get done.  Buying presents, planning and cooking meals, coordinating the visit to someone’s house, or preparing for everyone to come to our houses, the list goes on.

Marriage Bible Verse of the Week – Encourage Yourself

4 Comments / Encouragement, Marriage Bible Verse of the Week /

2 Comments / Encouragement, Marriage Bible Verse of the Week /

Last time we talked about how nothing was impossible with God and that there is hope for you to have a better marriage, no matter what kind of shape it’s presently in.

But if you’re anything like I was in the past, then you may now be thinking “Yeah, God can do anything, but will He help me and my marriage?”

Marriage Bible Verse of the Week – July 17, 2007

Encouragement, Marriage Bible Verse of the Week /

Marriage is supposed to be a good thing, but that’s not always the case. Many times we think that it’s never going to be a good thing or can never get better. Maybe everyone else can have a great relationship, but not us.
