PLEASE TAKE NOTE: A CHANGE FOR THE HEART TO HEART NEWSLETTER
After much thought and prayer, the Heart to Heart Newsletter will be sent only once each month, unless I am able to manage sending two. With my husband's retirement, it is amazing how much busier we seem to be. We hope to devote more time to visiting our three married children more often, and of course, those precious grandchildren! Please know that you ladies are not being deserted, and you will continue to remain in John and my prayers.
Please continue sending your kids' quotes to be considered for the newsletter. Personal notes are welcome, but please remove me from any lists for automatic forwarded messages. My e-mail service is not as good as it used to be (very slow), and I often can't get through all my e-mails as cumbersome as it has been during the past half year.
A DAUGHTER'S LOVE AND CARE FOR HER MOTHER WITH ALZHEIMER'S
FINDING THE BRIGHT SIDE
My dear friend, Marlene Beckner, recently lost her beloved mother to Alzheimer’s Disease. Marlene was blessed to be able to fulfill a childhood promise she had made to her mother to care for her at home if she ever became unable to care for herself. While taking care of her mother, God graciously helped her find the bright side of Alzheimer’s Disease and has become passionate about sharing her message with others. FINDING THE BRIGHT SIDE: Actively Seeking and Finding the Bright Side of Alzheimer’s Disease is the story of how she and her mother gained victory over Alzheimer’s Disease. Marlene’s prayer is that many will see this difficult disease from a new perspective.
I've already read Marlene's wonderful book, and having lost my own very special mother to cancer, my vision was blurred many times with tears, as I read about Marlene's own down times, lonliness and grief. She is such an amazing woman though, as she found a bright side to each difficulty she faced in caring for her mother. In her book Marlene also shares very helpful, practical tips that made caring for her mother so much easier. My husband said he wanted to read it as well, and found it to be helpful and inspirational.
Whether or not you have a parent or loved one suffering with Alzheimer's or another disease, this book will help you in actively seeking and finding the bright side in any situation! The book is a quick read, and you will surely benefit greatly, as we did.
FINDING THE BRIGHT SIDE by Marlene Krafft Beckner is available on Amazon.com for only $8.64 through the following link: http://amzn.com/1451537816, and it is well worth your short time to read it!
JUGGLING MOM
Words and music by Mary Rice Hopkins, a "Heart to Heart" mom in Southern California
I juggle as a mom but life goes on and on
And I struggle when I wear so many shoes
First a wife then a mother then a sister to my brother
And I struggle just to juggle all I do
I'm a technical director and a child protector
I book the social calendar and juggle all we do
Don’t ask me if I'm working cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
At the mall I'm a hiker with my kids I am a biker
And I drive a taxicab in between
I’m a chef I’m a cook who has time to read a book
Can you microwave my Lean Cuisine?
I’m a household technician a dancer and musician
A psychoanalyst but that’s all right with me
Don’t ask me if I’m workin’ cause a mom is always certain
That I struggle just to juggle all I do
Well I go to PTA and the YMCA
Downtown to my C.E.O.
Oh there I go again to my OBGYN
I’m a soccer mom at AYSO
I’m a M.O.M. , a D.R. and an R.N.
And If I’m acting like a mess they call it P.M.S.
If you added up our wages you couldn't even pay us
And you would confuse the IRS
But I’m a woman I’m a lover I’m Proud to be a mother
I must confess nonetheless sometimes I need my rest
That’s why when we juggle we need to stop and snuggle
Cause the job of being mom is just the best.

Note from Lois: Ladies, do you ever feel like a "Juggling Mom?" I know we all have at one time or another. If you want some really great songs on audio tape, CD or video for your children, as well as for yourself, check out her web site below! I came in contact with Mary Rice Hopkins because I wrote to a radio program where I heard her song, "Juggling Mom." This lady really has song-writing talent and I know you will agree! Mary does concerts and I had the great priviledge of attending one on the East Coast as well as a seminar.
Mary has recorded many albums of original music. In addition, she has published wonderful children's books and interactive curriculum materials. Visit her website at

SANDWICH ART
Make a special sandwich for Mother's Day! Kids would enjoy doing this too! At this link you will find many great ideas. My favorites are the butterfly, grand panini, flip cellwich, cat, flowiches, picklekile, and cordless mouse. I suggest you do not make your mother the bacon scale 'wich though. Not a good idea! http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/04/delicious-examples-of-sandwich-art/
A SWEET CAKE FOR MOTHER (NO CALORIES!)
An adorable idea for a handmade tealight cake for Mother Day or a birthday, sent by Debbie Klinect in Florida!
This is an adorable cake (not edible)! Watch the video at the bottom on how to make it.

CRAFT PROJECT - TREASURE STONES
by Julie Druck, Editor of A Heart for Home - <A onclick="top.checkNewBrowser('[email protected]&count=1272627553')" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected] - Used by permission
Eli and I made these “treasure stones” last summer just for fun. They really do look like stones – Eli enjoyed convincing his cousins that they were real rocks. Here’s the recipe: 1/2 C. flour, 1/2 C. used coffee grounds (allow them to dry out), 1/4 C. salt, 1/8 C. sand, 3/8 C. water and small toys to hide inside (E. used tiny toy dinosaurs). Heat the oven to 170 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients. Slowly add the water, stirring until the mixture forms a dough. Roll dough into balls – we went for about the size of a large walnut (you can make it as big or little as you want – just adjust the baking time). Make a hole in the center and push in a toy. Place the stones on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes (or as long as needed – just so they’re baked through). Cool completely and play with and/or use as favors or gifts.
DREAMS FOR MY CHILDREN
by Lori Turner Pavelkova, living in the Czech Republic
(As I finish this newsletter, Lori is about ready to deliver her first baby! Here's hoping we have a baby to announce at the end of this edition!)
Not that they’ll be “well-liked”, but that they’ll never doubt for a second that they’re well-loved
To be “in the world”, but not of it
To be creative and well-rounded but to have the right priorities
To speak and write English and Czech fluently
To have all of their needs met and some of their wants, and to be grateful rather than materialistic
To be pure and innocent in a “depraved generation”
To feel “at home” in both the United States and the Czech Republic (and wherever else we may live!)
To embrace the faith of their parents and grandparents not because they “have” to, but because they want to and because the way we've lived our lives makes it attractive to them
To be men and women of integrity
To be “wise as serpents” and “innocent as doves”
To work hard and to know how to rest
To be reasonably fit and attractive but not overly concerned with their looks
To “honor their father and mother”, and that we would be worthy of that honor
To love their siblings
To be healthy and strong but, if not, to see God use every weakness for His glory
To learn from their parents’ and grandparents’ mistakes and not to repeat them (they’ll make enough of their own:))
Not that they’ll follow a list of rules but that they’ll desire in their heart to do what is right
To have a relationship with God that attracts others to Him
To spend time with the elderly and glean from their wisdom and years of experience
To save their bodies and their hearts for their future mates and to experience the blessings of those choices
To find and marry Christian spouses who will “spur them on to love and good deeds”
To be free from any type of addiction or unhealthy habit
That we will not favor one child over the others but that we will love each child uniquely and absolutely
For girls – to enjoy loving protection and physical affection from their daddy and brothers so they needn't seek it elsewhere; to be lady-like but not stiff and unnatural
For boys – to be “gentle men”, tender and polite; not that they’ll be “sissies” but that they’ll cry when they should
That they will be humble
That they will neither crave attention nor be starving for it
That God would protect their minds from doubt, fear, and despair
To have a sense of humor that is neither crass nor cynical
That our home would be a calm, peaceful, safe place for them to come to at the end of the day
That they’ll excel at something but not succeed at everything, lest they become proud
That they’ll know their parents love each other and feel secure in their parents’ commitment to one another and to them
That at the appropriate time they’ll “cut the apron strings” enough, but not too much
That no matter what other jobs we’ve had or things we've accomplished in life, our greatest success will be our marriage and the children we’ve raised.
BE A COACH TO YOUR CHILDREN
by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN - www.biblicalparenting.org - Used by permission
I'm sure that as you look around you see other families who have rather strange relationships with their kids. Some parents seem to have a boss/servant relationship with their children, as if the parents own their kids. They order them around as if they were slaves, being demanding about obedience and respect.
Others act like policemen allowing children to do anything they want within boundaries. When the children move outside the boundaries then the parent blows the whistle to get them back in line. Other parents have a little prince relationship with their children. These parents go out of their way to make their children happy, sometimes trying to make up for their own unhappiness as a child.
A better analogy is the one that views the parent as a coach. Your children need training every day, involving teaching, correcting, firmness, and encouragement. A coach builds a relationship with the child, recognizes weaknesses and equips the child to succeed. When a runner falls down, a good coach doesn't condemn but motivates to excellence through support and encouragement. The coach and the athlete are both on the same side, working to make that young person successful.
Don't let childish problems like anger, impulsiveness, or meanness motivate you to become an opponent to your children, allowing the problem to come between you. Instead, partner with your children, moving the problem to the side, with you and your child working together to conquer it. Your attitude in conflict will mean all the difference for a child who needs to be coached out of immaturity. Children need to know that their parents believe in them. It helps them in the deepest areas of their hearts.
In what ways do you see yourself as a coach to your kids? Click here to tell us about it.
This parenting tip is from the book, Home Improvement, The Parenting Book You Can Read to Your Kids by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN. Since each chapter begins with a fictional story that continues from chapter to chapter, it's the parenting book you can read to your kids.
MAKE YOUR OWN GOURMET SAUCES
©Copyright 2010 Mary Hunt - Everyday Cheapskate is a Registered Trademark - www.cheapskate.com - Used by permission
Note from Lois: I would substitute stevia as a sweetener in these recipes. Since sugar breaks down the immune system, I try to cut way down on it, and use stevia when I need some sweetness. It would work fine in sauces and very little is needed.
Not long ago, I managed to land a terrific bargain on chicken breasts. As I was loading up my grocery cart, I got the idea to make Orange Chicken for dinner. I headed to the condiments aisle to find some kind of orange glaze.
Sure enough, I found a jarred Chinese orange sauce glaze. But the price nearly knocked me into the cart with the chicken: $7.29 for 12 ounces. Are you kidding? That was the day I learned how to make my own orange sauce.
Here is that recipe, plus a few of my other favorite sauces.
Orange Glaze
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour. Then stir in the orange juice, lemon juice, ginger and water, stirring until well incorporated. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Let boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, orange and lemon zest and stir together. Serve hot over cooked chicken or pork.
Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade
2/3 cup mirin*
1 cup soy sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup white sugar
7 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 dash red pepper flakes
black pepper to taste
Bring mirin to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar. Season with garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and black pepper. Simmer 5 minutes longer. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
*Mirin is Japanese sweet rice wine.
Barbecue Sauce
2 cups ketchup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 cup molasses
4 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid smoke
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Pour all ingredients into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for up to 20 minutes, depending on how thick you want the sauce. Sauce can also be thinned using a bit of water if necessary. Brush sauce onto any kind of meat or poultry during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Low-Fat Horseradish Sauce
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
In a small bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator up to two weeks. Serve with roast beef or as a sandwich spread.
Want more recipes? I have created a great booklet called “
Dip It!,” packed full of recipes for dips and sauces that are family friendly. Never undervalue a great dip to get the kids to eat just about anything!

MAKING ANTIQUE SIGNS
by Lois Breneman
A few years ago I painted a few signs, trying to make them look like that had been around a very long time. My sister-in-law, Linda Walker, gave me some tips. First I found an old piece of wood in my husband's wood shop, with his permission, of course. He sanded it for me and I painted the front and sides with black acrylic paint. After letting it dry well, it was painted burgundy. Next I used rough sandpaper to make it look antique, by allowing the black paint or even the raw wood to show through in places, especially along the edges. After this step, if you'd like, splattering with paint would be fine too. After the wooden sign looked as I wanted it to appear, I painted a saying on the board, using white acrylic paint. A scripture verse or part of one would be very fitting, such as "Above all else, guard your heart." For another sign, I painted the words, "Our Country Home" for our son and his wife who live in the country, next to cattle fields. It's a fun project to try, because you don't need to make it appear new, but antique.
My niece, Kelly Fritz, Linda's daughter, even painted an amazing antiqued monopoly board as well as other game boards, which she has hanging in her adorable country home. She and Linda have made antiqued checkerboards, which I think would be fun to do, and more simple than most game boards. You can purchase a stencil for a checkerboard, which simplifies the process. Then using the antiquing method as described above or a similar one, you will have an antiqued checkerboard to use or hang in your home. Some oil stain rubbed into the finished product can enhance the antiquing appearance even more. Why not give this a try sometime, using a small piece of scrap lumber? You might be pleasantly surprised at how well it turns out!
I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS
by Thomas O. Chisholm
This is a wonderful hymn to learn and sing as you work around the home!
I have one deep supreme desire,
That I may be like Jesus.
To this I fervently aspire,
That I may be like Jesus.
I want my heart His throne to be,
So that a watching world may see
His likeness shining forth in me;
I want to be like Jesus.
Oh, perfect life of Christ my Lord,
I want to be like Jesus.
My recompense and my reward,
That I may be like Jesus.
His Spirit fill my hung'ring soul,
His power all my life control;
My deepest pray'r, my highest goal,
That I may be like Jesus.
THE TRIP HOME
Author unknown - Thanks to Barb Campbell in Mississippi for sending this!
A pastor had been on a long flight between church conferences. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten Your Seat Belts.
Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened."
As the pastor looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive.
Later, the voice on the intercom said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us."
And then the storm broke . . .
The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightning lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.
The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm."
"Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world."
"When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm, when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid." The minister could hardly believe his eyes.
It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, our pastor lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.
The child replied, "Cause my Daddy's the pilot, and he's taking me home."
There are many kinds of storms that buffet us. Physical, mental, financial, domestic, and many other storms can easily and quickly darken our skies and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement. We have all known such times, and let us be honest and confess, it is much easier to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than when we are being tossed about a darkened sky.
Let us remember: Our Father is the Pilot. He is in control and taking us home. Don't worry.
PRECIOUS GEMS
My daughter, Joy, gets recipes off Internet recipes sites all the time. The other day she caught her daughter, Ryan Elizabeth (2) at the computer, typing away on the keyboard. Joy asked her what she was doing and Ryan said, "I hungry. I getting food to eat!" ~ Lois
When I picked up Hallie (5) today from kindergarten, I asked, "What was your favorite thing that happened today, Hallie?" She smiled and said, "This moment." Awww! ~ Cherith Moore in Texas
Here are a couple questions Ethan (5) asked me at lunch today. "Mom, do all bears, including Build-A-Bears, hibranate in the winter?" and "How much does an ant weigh?" This is just a sample of the variety of conversation that I experience in about a 2 minute span of time. =) ~ Liz Smith in Washington
Sam (4): "Mom, If God is big, does He look like a skyscraper?" ~ Tiffany Bowles in Colorado
Sam (4) made me feel good today- He said I look "long and skinny like a carrot" 🙂 ~ Tiffany Bowles in Colorado
I find myself using metaphors my mom used and my kids just don't get it. For instance, "Joshua, you are already in hot water." Joshua (9): "But mama, I don't see any water." Another time I say, "You are going to be up that creek if you don't....." Joshua: "What creek?" ~ Penny Yonts in Virginia
I got a good lecture from my middle son, Boom-Boom (5), today. He asked me if I can bake a MILK cupcake for him. I said, "I don't think I can do that, bud." His "very mature" words for me: "Mommy, you need to say, 'I'll try, Boom.' Then you make it and if it's not good, you don't have to make it again." Ha! ~ Darlene Weber in Thailand
Boom-Boom (5) said another one last week too: "Mommy, do you know what "compassion" means? I know what compassion means. It is when someone needs help you go help them." By the way, when he talks, he replaces most of his "s" with very aspirated "t," so it's even cuter when you listen to him. ~ Darlene Weber in Thailand
My daughter, Joy, said that almost every time she sees a scratch or mark on her daughter, Ryan Elizabeth (2), and asks what happened, Ryan says, "Doggie did it!" And that very well may be the truth. Just this week Bailey (still a puppy, but a rather big one now) chewed on her mommy's new shoe and the TV remote! Oh, no! ~ Lois
Most weekday mornings when my daughter, Joy, drops off my grandson, Justin (7) and the boy next door at the Christian school, Justin's sister, Ryan Elizabeth (2), cries and says, "I miss my Justin!" Then when it's time to pick them up after school, she says to her mom, "It's time to get my boys!" ~ Lois
BABY ANNOUNCEMENT
Olivia Hope Pavelkova was born today - on May 1, 2010! She is the first child of Ondra and Lori Pavelkova living in the Czech Republic and the first granddaughter of William and Janet Turner in Virginia.
A FUN AND PRODUCTIVE SUMMER WITH YOUR FAMILY
If you're looking for lots of activities of things to do with your family, check out the "Start-Up Kit" you were sent as a new subscriber. It includes lots of ideas. Just because school lessons are over for the school year, doesn't mean the learning should come to a halt. And remember that life is more than sports. Use this summer for teaching your children how to save money, by using some of the money saving tips given in the preliminary newsletters. Or do an Internet search to learn a new skill. Prepare your children for life. Other than teaching them how to have a close relationship with the Lord, teach them how to handle money, how to work, how to organize, and how to make things. How about woodworking, auto mechanics, sewing, quilting, knitting or crocheting? Sewing is one of my favorite things to do, and in recent years more young ladies are deciding to learn this and similar skills. Enjoy your children this summer, and teach them skills they can use the rest of their lives. Grandparents, invest time in your grandchildren as much as possible. They grow up far too fast!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Many Heart to Heart ladies and their families need our prayers,
so please remember to pray for each Heart to Heart lady as you receive your newsletter.
