Newsletter Issue 10

The time has come once again to begin working on the next FAR Newsletter.  Somehow this time always comes around a bit quicker that I expect that it will!  But I am excited to get back to working on this again…and I’d really like to be able to include your thoughts in the newsletter as well!

The April-May issue is on “Helping in Our Homes”.  It always seems like there’s more work to be done in the spring and summer months.  There’s always plenty of things to be done indoors; and with the arrival of warmer weather, there comes more outdoor work as well.  Therefore, it seemed fitting to focus on helping in our homes and serving our family.   

It would be wonderful if you would share your thoughts on this topic!

  • What is something that you are doing to be a blessing to your family?
  • What is something the Lord has taught you about serving and helping your family?
  • Do you have any specific verses that are an encouragement to you in this area? 

Feel free to use those questions as a spring-board for your thoughts.  You can answer just one of them, all of them, or just share any thoughts & ideas you have on this ~ whatever you choose to do is just fine!  I will then include these answers and thoughts in the next newsletter.  Comments left on this post will not appear on the site until the newsletter is finished.  Once I have mailed out the newsletter, I will make the comments visible on my blog.  That way, when you get the newsletter you will not have already read everyone’s  thoughts on this topic :)

(Please note that I may not be able to include everyone’s comments in the newsletter.)

Thank you all so much for your help!  I can’t wait to hear what you all have to share!

*If you don’t already receive the FAR Newsletter, please feel free to subscribe!*


Thank You!

A big thank you to everyone who took time to share their thoughts on Bible memory!  I enjoyed reading each of the comments and appreciated the thoughts and ideas that you all shared!  Thank you so much!

All the comments are now visible on my blog, so be sure to check them out!!

Thoughts on Bible Memory

Once again, I’ve been gathering my thoughts for the next issue of “Far Above Rubies“.  This upcoming issue is on “Meditating on God’s Word”.  As I have been thinking about it, I keep coming back to how Bible memorization is so importatnt to meditating on the Word of God.

So, I’d like to ask you all to share your thoughts on Bible memory.  

  • Do you have a specific method you use to memorize God’s Word?  
  • What have you found helpful as you memorize? 
  • Do you prefer memorizing entire chapters or verses on a specific topic, etc.?
  • What are some of your reasons for memorizing Scripture?
  • How has Bible memory been beneficial to you in your walk with the Lord?

You can answer just some of these questions or all of them if you would like ~ which ever you choose is just fine!  Please leave a comment on the post sharing your thoughts and ideas on this topic. I will then include these comments in the upcoming issue of FAR

Comments that are left on this post, will not appear on the site until the newsletter is finished.  Once I have mailed out the newsletter, I will make the comments visible on my blog.  That way, when you get the newsletter you will not have already read everyone’s  thoughts on this topic. 

(Please note that I may not be able to include everyone’s comments in the newsletter.)

Thank you all so much for your help!  I can’t wait to hear what you all have to share!
