What a great way to start the NEW year!

If each of would take the time to reflect on God’s love affair with us, and His expression of that love toward us, we can find it easier to relate to each other… THINK about it! “For God so loved the world that He gave His only  begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” —John 3:16. God loved us so much that he gave us the “UNSPEAKABLE” gift of His Son to atone us back to Himself. It’s incredible.

God’s LOVE lifted me… God gave His Son…Jesus gave His life… His life set us FREE!...FREE from all sin. What’s the best Christmas present YOU can give to your loved ones? UNDERSTANDING. “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” —Proverbs 4:7

RELATIONSHIP is the key to ANY love affair… whether the affair is with God; or with each other. On the other hand, if you and a loved one speak love in different languages, you may both be missing or misunderstanding how much the other loves you; and they are probably mistaking your “I love you” for “I don’t have time for you.”; or “something else is more important to me than you.”

Add to the language barrier the fact that men and women relate entirely differently; or that the proverbial generation gap makes young people and elderly people absorb the exact same experience in entirely different ways; and you have the exact problem that Gary Chapman had in mind when he wrote, “The Five Love Languages.”

The Healthy Family Relationships group will be reading this book from January thru April, 2009; meeting once a month. We plan to facilitate discussion groups, incorporating biblical principles for those reading the book. We plan to meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month starting January 15, 2009 thru April 16, 2009 6:00-7:00pm, in the Chapel.

Learning to appreciate different styles will facilitate individual and family cohesiveness; thus supporting the vision of spiritual development.  Give your loved ones the gift of a better understanding. Cost of the book: $8.99…. benefit gifted to your family: $Priceless!

From the Publisher
Are you and your loved ones speaking the same language? While love is a many splendored thing, it is sometimes a very confusing thing, too. And as people come in all varieties, shapes, and sizes, so do their choices of personal expressions of love. But more often than not, the giver and the receiver express love in two different ways. This can lead to misunderstanding, quarrels, and even divorce. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies five basic languages of love and then guides couples towards a better understanding of their unique languages of love. Learn to speak and understand your mate's love language, and in no time you will be able to effectively love and truly feel loved in return. Skillful communication is within your grasp!
