PRECIOUS GEMS FROM LITTLE ONES OF HEART TO HEART SUBSCRIBERS
BEATITUDES FOR A HOMEMAKER
by a Mrs. Walker (not my own mother) Thanks to Barb Campbell in Mississippi for this contribution!
Blessed is she whose daily tasks are a labor of love; for her willing hands and happy heart translate duty into privilege, and her labor becomes a service to God and all mankind.
Blessed is she who opens the door to welcome both stranger and well-loved friend; for gracious hospitality
is a test of brotherly love.
Blessed is she who mends stockings and toys and broken hearts; for her understanding is a balm to humanity.
Blessed is she who scours, for well she knows that cleanliness is one expression of godliness.
Blessed is she whom children love; for the love of a child is more to be called than fortune or fame.
Blessed is she who sings at her work; for music lightens the heaviest load and brightens the dullest chore.
Blessed is she who dusts away doubt and fear and sweeps out the cobwebs of confusion for her faith will triumph over all adversity.
Blessed is she who serves laughter and smiles with every meal; for her buoyancy of spirit is an aid to mental and physical digestion.
Blessed is she who preserves the sanctity of the Christian home; for hers is a sacred trust that crowns her with dignity.
It hits me every January - the Organization Bug! I suppose it's partly because of putting away the Christmas decorations for another year and getting rid of all the dust they collect. It's probably also about getting off to a good start in a new year.
Someone once said that lazy people are the ones who came up with the idea of being organized, because organized people are just too lazy to look for things! Well, being organized certainly does save lots of time, energy and dollars along the way as well. How many of us have had to run to the store because we ran out of something we had to have immediately, especially when cooking? All of us, I'm sure!
"Heart to Heart" subscriber, Julie Nelson in Illinois, recently shared a great solution for that problem! She said:
"We have a standard stock of things that we always use: various condiments, pasta, canned veggies. We are blessed to have a basement and I have lined a long hallway there with metal storage shelves. Whenever there is a sale, I buy extras of our staples and shelve them. We are always fully stocked and whenever I need something, I take a giant basket that I have and go shopping at "Nelson's Market," which is what our family calls that hallway. We also have our deep freeze down there. We very rarely run out of anything by shopping this way."
This is a wonderful idea! Staples such as toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, napkins, toothpaste, toothbrushes, bars of soap, liquid hand soap, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies (whether or not you make your own laundry soap), and white distilled vinegar are other great items to stock. I'm sure there are lots more items to add to this list. When you stock your shelves like this, you can always be sure to buy items only when they're marked way down.
It is also good to note that certain items with high fat content will not keep very long - things like salad dressings, mayonnaise, peanut butter and oils, to name a few. Go easy on stocking pancake mixes and cake mixes as well. Be sure you don't buy too many of any of these items. Items containing grains should not be shelved too long, and freezing them is always the best. Corn meal is a grain that can get buggy in short time, but freezing any item containing cornmeal for at least four days will kill any larvae in the grain. I know this sounds extremely disgusting, but it's one of those facts of life. If freezer space is not an issue, keeping it in the freezer until you are ready to use it is best.
Freezing butter, orange juice, milk and bread will save additional trips to the store. Just be sure to pour out about a half cup of liquid before freezing (for milk and juice) to allow extra space for freezing.
Creating your own "Home Market" will be sure to save you time, money and energy, and your kids will no doubt love doing the shopping for you! Assign one child to that job for a week at a time. Add that to their job chart.
HOME MAINTENANCE

FIVE RULES OF HOUSEKEEPING
Author unknown
If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say, "I'd love for you to see our den but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive."
Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, "Johnny did this when he was two. I haven't had the heart to clean it!"
HOUSECLEANING
by Dorothy Elizabeth Walker, my dear mother, who has been with the Lord for 25 years, as of February, 2010.
There's one room upstairs that no one sees
Where during the year things have collected;
Good things, others too, that just take up room,
To be shared or thrown away, but I neglected.
So I cleaned out the clutter and cobwebs,
Swept and scrubbed everything in sight;
Covered up the ugly marks with fresh paint,
Washed windows -- in came sun and light.
Order out of chaos; oh what a change!
Now that it's done, it's a real joy to me;
All the time as I worked, I thought again
Of the cleansing I, myself, need daily.
There's a room in my heart no one sees;
During the day some things collect there -
The dust of gloom, envy, thoughtless words,
Even wondering, "Does Jesus care?"
So I cleaned out a secret grudge, cobwebs
Of jealousy, washed walls of prejudice too;
Then covered up a lot of things with love -
Yet the Lord had some cleaning to do.
My hurting heart He calmed and healed,
Washed my eyes with tears, many bitter too.
That I might see the brightness of His love.
Yet it's not because of what I could do
That makes me joyously happy and clean -
'Tis the cleansing blood of God's Son -
For when looking into the mirror of His Word
I was only willing to let it be done.
WORK-AT-HOME IDEAS FOR MOMS
by Lois Breneman, © 2010, Heart to Heart Newsletter, [email protected]
Some moms are able to manage a part time job in the home very well. That may be while their children are preschoolers, while they are in school or being homeschooled, or after their children have left home. In fact, some homeschooling families find it beneficial having a family business, earning income while also teaching their children many aspects of work, skills, cooperation and business, and at the same time teaching the basics of education.
Here are just a few ideas of supplementing your family income while working from home. I have known someone who has done each one of these part time jobs, and I have done a few myself at one time or another:
Child care in your home - babies and/or toddlers
After school child care
Caring for foster children
Teach crafts, cooking, sewing or another skill to children or adults
Cake decorating for all ocassions or making special cut-up cakes
Cooking for others (This is a need especially among busy singles and the elderly)
Custom sewing (mainly clothing)
Alterations (mainly clothing)
Specialized Custom Sewing for the Home (pillows, draperies, duvet covers, tablecloths, table runners, etc.)
Handmade Quilts
Embroidery Designs sewn on ready made clothing
Knit / Crochet - custom work or making specific items to sell
Specialty sewing or craft items made and sold online or in consignment shops
Cut hair, wash, style, perms and hair coloring
Teach music lessons: piano, flute, violin, guitar or another instrument
Vocal lessons
Typing
Calligraphy
Addressing wedding invitations (in calligraphy or regular handwriting)
Addresing Christmas cards
Handmade Jewelry
Handmade Cards
Wooden signs
Tutoring
Teaching a foreign language
Scrapbook memory albums for others
Art work (drawings, paintings, pastels, portraits from pictures)
Taking calls for a business
Medical transcriptions
Custom Silk Flower Arrangements
There are also some jobs that could be done completely during the hours your children are in school. One idea is doing housecleaning for someone during school hours, possibly one or two days a week. Even if you are homeschooling one or two children, it may be possible to take them along. Your children could do their assignments at the kitchen table while you clean, providing they are well behaved and those arrangements suit the person for whom you are working.
Even while owning your own business, it is still possible to work mostly from home using the phone, and spending only a few hours at the shop each week, while your children are being lovingly cared for by your husband or other family members.
A business license is necessary, and taxes still need to be filed when working at home, but if managed well, it can be a good source of extra income.
There are also so many ways to cut down on your household expenses and increase the amount of available money you have to spend or give away, and I will continue to pass on any money saving ideas that I can through this newsletter. Of course, there is more time and energy to do these things if you are home all day. To repeat just a few money saving ideas, you will save thousands of dollars by learning how to cut hair just for your own family. Making foods from scratch, even bread and pizza, will save you more than you can imagine. Eating in, rather than eating out, will amaze you at how much you can save. Instead, try to make meals copied after some you have enjoyed in restaurants. Making your own laundry soap, stocking up on many sale items, fixing things rather than tossing them out as soon as something goes wrong, and buying only what you need are some other ways to save. Your family can be well dressed by doing a portion of your shopping at Goodwill, yard sales and/or sewing, and clearence sales, yet the difference in dollars saved is huge. Learn to make your own quality gifts and save thousands! Purchase good used cars instead of brand new ones for an immense savings.
So you can see that by creatively working to find ways to save money at home, you will not need such a sizable income, as when you had two full time incomes (BC - Before Children). Also consider the added expenses of working away from home. Factor in nicer clothes, extra gas money, eating out more, less nutritious meals at home, being much more tired juggling two jobs, having to do laundry and other household jobs each evening just to keep up, daycare, children possibly getting sick more because of being in daycare, and the list goes on! Then ask yourself if working outside the home puts you ahead overall or behind. Ask yourself what you, your husband and your children are having to give up to earn more money. Is it worth it? It's between each family and God as you consider the overall cost or consequences and make your desicion.
"A penny saved is a penny earned." In fact, my husband reminded me a long time ago that a penny saved is much more than a penny earned, when you consider taxes and all of the above. I realize that circumstances do not make it possible for every mom to be home with her children, but if at all possible, I believe God will bless you as you seek to be at home with them. I hope some of these ideas will help you to come up with a workable plan to do what is best for your own family.
UNIQUE, PERSONALIZED AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TO SEND GREETING CARDS

BAKED SALMON
This "Salmon Section" (recipe and story) is from a 1999 Heart to Heart Newsletter - the first year this newsletter was sent. February will be the 12th anniversary!
2 pound salmon filet
Topping:
1 cup mayonnaise
4 oz. prepared horseradish, squeezed dry in a towel
1 tsp. dried onion flakes
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
juice of ½ lemon
Place salmon on cookie sheet lined with foil. Spread topping on salmon. You may need to adjust the recipe depending on the size of the filet. You want the topping to be at least ½" thick over the entire piece of fish. Bake at 425 for around 30 minutes. The topping should sink into the fish and a brown crust will form. Don't worry - it won't be dry!
Hint: The horseradish will be quite compacted and difficult to mix into the mayonnaise. Don't put it in the entire cup of mayonnaise, but mix it in with a small amount first to loosen it up and then add to the rest.
Another recipe for salmon: Mix equal parts mayonnaise and lemon juice and spread on salmon steaks and grill until finished.
They are delicious and moist.
TASTY SALMON MOUSSE
Source unknown - This is a great story!
A housewife was having several couples over for dinner that night, so she wanted to cook something special. She slaved for hours that afternoon and finally created a masterpiece. Salmon Mousse.
Just before her guests arrived, she caught her cat nibbling away at the dish on the dining room table. She had worked so hard that she couldn't throw the mousse away, so she smoothed it over and served it anyway.
Well, the mousse was a hit. Everyone took seconds or thirds. Proudly she stood to bring the empty plate out to the kitchen and looked out the window.
There, next to the house, lay her cat. Dead. She had to confess to her guests that she'd served mousse eaten by the cat and now the cat was dead.
The entire dinner party rushed to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. The housewife, who hadn't eaten any because she knew her cat had, lay in bed -- mourning the passing of her cat and fearing that the same fate could befall her guests.
Then, the phone rang. It was her next door neighbor who said, " I'm sorry about your cat. I should have told you that I ran her
over but I was just so ashamed and saw that you had a dinner party in progress ... So I just put her on your lawn."
A PARENTING TIP: TELLING YOUR STORIES
by Mark Brandenburg - http://www.markbrandenburg.com - Used by permission
In today’s busy world, many parents have lost the art of telling their stories to their kids. Here are some reasons why these stories are so beneficial:
1. Use them to teach lessons about life.
Stories will stimulate conversations with your kids more effectively than lecturing or “trying to get them to talk. There are a lot of issues happening for your kids these days, and stories give them a chance to reflect on them.
2. Stories connect your kids with previous generations.
In a society that seems to have families spread out all over, it's vitally important to have ways to have your kids feel connected to their extended families.
3. Stories stimulate your kids’ imagination.
One of the best ways to prepare your kids for the world is to engage them in vivid stories that stir their imagination. Kids who are exposed to these kinds of stories will be the creative problem-solvers of the future.
4. Kids who are exposed to stories will continue the tradition with their own families.
Knowing that your family traditions and stories will be carried on by future generations is very comforting.
5. Stories can encourage your kids when they're discouraged
Childhood can get pretty discouraging sometimes. Kids are encouraged by knowing that Mom or Dad have gone through the same kinds of things and have survived.
6. Telling your stories has you remembering your own childhood.
Telling your kids about your childhood is a great way for you to remember and reflect on what was important about your younger years.
7. Telling stories helps to create depth and soul in your kids.
In a TV and media-crazy culture, telling stories can capture your kids’ attention and convey real meaning. It’s a way to show your kids what’s really important in your life.
8. Telling stories to your kids tells them they're worth the time.
Is there anything more important than conveying to your kids that you want to spend intimate time with them? They’ll remember it forever.
9. Telling stories is a great chance to convey your values.
Your kids will be getting quite a few messages from their friends and from popular culture. Stories are a great opportunity to sneak in a few of your cherished values for your kids to hear.
10. Well-crafted stories create a wonderful mind-set for your kids before they fall asleep.
Kids will fall asleep faster and with healthier images when you tell them your stories.
Don't pass up the opportunity to connect with your kids at the same time you tell them what's important to you. It will be a huge gift to your kids, and a huge gift to you.
HOT CHOCOLATE WITH (SH!) SWEET POTATOES
Thanks to Sharon Suhr in California for this recipe from the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook! Most of the time I try to steer clear of recipes with sugar for Heart to Heart, but for moms who can't get their children to eat vegetables, this is a start!
1/2 cup of pureed sweet potato
1 1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup (I like the Trader Joe's kind with no HFCS) ... you may want to play with more/less of the milk and choc syrup to suit your taste.
Blend in a blender; then pour in a sauce pan and bring it to a light simmer (stirring constantly). You can add a bit of cinnamon too, which is good. I added some whipped cream and it was perfect!

It’s ideal for attracting robins this spring.
A FUN SALAD FOR THE KIDS
Have your children help make this salad with you - even the tiny tots can help!
Body: fresh or canned peach half
Arms and legs: small celery sticks
Head: half a hard cooked egg
Eyes, nose, shoes, buttons: raisins
Mouth: piece of a cherry or dried cranberry (spread out some)
Hair: grated yellow cheese
Skirt: ruffled lettuce leaf
The "skirt" is placed under the peach half (a pear would also work).
The "buttons" are placed on the peach half "bodice."
For the head you place the yolk down so only the white shows for the face.
You could use very finely grated/shredded carrot for the hair instead of the cheese.
WEDDING SMILES
from Christianity Today, Inc/Christian Reader Magazine
I was watching my five-year-old granddaughter Christy play with her dolls. At one point, she "staged" a wedding, first playing the role of the bride's mother who assigned specific duties, then suddenly becoming the bride with her "teddy bear" groom. She picked him up and said to the "minister" presiding over the wedding, "Now you can read us our rights." Without missing a beat, Christy became the minister who said, "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be held against you, you
have the right to have an attorney present. You may kiss the bride." ~ Sonja Ely, Oregon
My husband, a pastor, is often asked to officiate at weddings. During one well-booked wedding season, we were preparing for one son's birthday party. When I asked him whom he wanted to invite, the only names he gave were his "girl friends." "Who are you going to marry when you grow up?" I asked jokingly. Without hesitation he replied, "When I grow up I'm going to be a pastor and marry them all." ~ Marian Obeda, Ontario
Before performing a wedding, my father spent a few minutes explaining to a reluctant six-year-old ringbearer how important his job was - the wedding couldn't happen without him. All went well, despite a heavy snowstorm outside. But near the end of the ceremony the electricity went out. Everyone decided to continue in the dark. Just as the groom was about to kiss the bride, the lights came on and the ringbearer looked at his pillow, horrified. "All right," he yelled, "Who stole the rings?" -~ Debbie Sparrow, British Columbia
My five-year-old grandnephew was obviously worried as he looked down the long aisle of the church where his aunt was to be married the following day. His grandmother had an idea. "I think I'll give a prize to the person who does the best job tomorrow!" We were all holding our breath the next day, but when it was time, the ringbearer performed without a hitch. When his grandmother told him he had won the prize, he was both excited and relieved. "I was pretty sure I had it," he admitted, "until
Aunt Dana came in wearing that white dress and the horn was blowing. Then I started thinking-she might win!" ~ Barbara Lee, NC
My brother, Denny, and most of his friends were avowed bachelors and avid pranksters. When Denny's best friend, Tim, got engaged, my brother was best man. The wedding had a country-western theme with the men wearing western suits, string-ties, and cowboy boots. When the minister asked, "If anyone has just reason why these two should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace," the groomsmen all spun around, whipped back their suit jackets, brandishing cap pistols and menacing stares. No one spoke, but we've laughed ever since.~ Tamara Morris, Illinois
On our first anniversary, after a romantic candlelit dinner, my wife, Elizabeth, emerged from the kitchen with the finishing touch: the top of our wedding cake for dessert. At the first cut, the iced layer "squeaked" at us. For an entire year, we had saved a round chunk of frosting-covered Styrofoam in our freezer. ~ Don Singleton, Alabama
Our church fellowship hall has framed Bible verses on the wall -- most of them extolling God's love and care. But at a recent wedding reception, another verse caught everyone's attention. Directly behind the cake table where the couple were cutting the first piece hung the warning: "Flee from the wrath to come!" ~ Nancy Camp, West Virginia
After forty-six years of marriage, my husband and I still chuckle about our four year old ringbearer's next-day panic when he asked his mother if he had gotten married the day before. "No," she reassured him. Little Jerry's reply: "Then what in the world was I doing up there?" ~ Jackie Mickels, Nebraska
My husband was performing a wedding, and I was the organist. Everything went smoothly until the end, when he forgot the line, "You may now kiss the bride." The awkward silence was broken by me trying to cue my husband with kissing noises. It got his attention, but it didn't sink in. Afterward he told me he thought I was picking an unusual time to flirt with him.--Janice Reese, OK
My great-granddaughter Melissa, 6, was excited about being at her first wedding. When the pastor, the groom, and the best man took their places, she couldn't take her eyes off of them. At the organ's cue, I directed her attention to the back of the church. Glancing at the front again and then at the bride, Melissa whispered, "Grandma, does she get to take her pick?"--Clara Null, OK
- Grieving the Lord who redeemed me
- Dragging His sacred name into the mud
- One day having to look Jesus, the Righteous Judge, in the face and give an account of my actions
- Following in the footsteps of those people whose immorality forfeited their ministries and caused me to shudder
- Inflicting untold hurt on my best friend and loyal spouse
- Losing my spouse’s respect and trust
- Hurting my beloved children
- Destroying my example and credibility with my children and nullifying both present and future efforts to teach them to obey God (Why listen to a man/woman who betrayed Mom/Dad and us?)
- If my blindness should continue or my spouse be unwilling to forgive, perhaps losing my spouse and my children forever
- Causing shame to my family
- Losing self-respect
- Creating a form of guilt awfully hard to shake – even though God would forgive me, would I forgive myself?
- Forming memories and flashbacks that could plague future intimacy with my spouse
- Wasting years of ministry training and experience for a long time, maybe permanently
- Forfeiting the effect of years of witnessing to my relatives and reinforcing their distrust for Christians that has only begun to soften by my example, but that would harden, perhaps permanently, because of my immorality
- Undermining the faithful example and hard work of other Christians in our community
- Bringing great pleasure to Satan, the enemy of God and all that is good
- Heaping judgment and endless difficulty on the person with whom I committed adultery
- Possibly bearing the physical consequences of such diseases as gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and AIDS; perhaps infecting my spouse, or, in the case of AIDS, even causing his/her death
- Possibly causing pregnancy, with the personal and financial implications, including a lifelong reminder of my sin
- Bringing shame and hurt to these Pastors, Elders, and Deacons (list names)
- Causing shame and hurt to these friends, especially those I’ve led to Christ and discipled (list names)
- Invoking shame and life-long embarrassment upon myself, reproach never erased!
PRECIOUS GEMS FROM LITTLE ONES OF HEART TO HEART SUBSCRIBERS
Ladies, thanks for allowing these Precious Gems to be included in Heart to Heart for everyone to enjoy!
With a new baby brother in the house, Chaeli, age 4, has become Mommy’s little helper. When asked to go get the bottle from the kitchen, she asked, “Out of the milk toaster?” I had a great laugh when I finally realized she meant bottle warmer. ~ Alison Buck in Ohio
During dinner one night, conversation turned toward the subject of our dog, Solomon, who is now 8 years old, and is starting to show signs of being older. Coryn, our oldest daughter, age 7, seemed especially contemplative, when she said, “Solomon will be in Heaven one day.” Without going into an even deeper discussion about the reality of this, I asked, “You think so?” She said, “He will be in dog and cat heaven. It’s right next door to regular heaven, so we can go and visit him.” The funnier thing is, she’s never even seen the movie called “All Dogs Go to Heaven.” How do kids think this up? ~ Alison Buck in Ohio
My husband, Steve, was showing Tucker, our toddler, how to play with the new remote control car he had gotten. Tucker holds the remote up near his face and says, "Teese" (cheese). He thought it was a camera! Do you think we take his picture too much? ~ Christy Jacobs in Virginia
My granddaughter, Virginia Mae, 3, told me on the phone, "Happy New Christmas DeeDa." Guess that covers all her bases for Christmas and New Year's Day! ~ Tressia Price in Virginia (Virginia's mother is Julia Price in North Carolina.)
"This is my third year with the Cubbies (3-4 year olds) at our church. I've been called a variety of names, including just "Cunningham," "Cuttingham," "Somebody," and "Hey, You." But Jeremiah and Natalie Escalera associated the Cubbie Bear puppet with me and started calling me "Mrs. Cubbie-ham." It stuck, and I love it!" ~ Kathy Cunningham in Virginia (Sarah Escalera in Virginia is the mother of Jeremiah and Natalie.)
Indian war paint does not come off little boys' bodies. Even if the package SAYS they are washable magic markers. Moral of the story - always investigate if your kids are too quiet! ~ Lisa Weddle in Virginia
