"…and rejoice in the wife of your youth, as a loving hind and graceful doe,
let her breast satisfy you at all times. Be exhilarated always with her love."
Proverbs 5:18-19
From
the Editor's Desk(top)!
Welcome!
During the past few weeks, we have experienced an influx of letters and emails from many different families sharing about deep, deep concerns about the state of their marriages. Many are teetering on the edge, seeing nothing in sight but a crash. Others have expressed that they are sitting in the rubbish of broken dreams needing REAL HELP to rebuild their marriage and having no idea where to begin. There has been an all-out assault on marriages and families. Talk about perfect timing for this special issue of TIME FOR TEA!
This issue has really blown us away! Do you notice how much we have in this ONE issue? Yes, we usually have one, maybe two articles each week. However, this week, we have a special treat for you! We have a WHOLE toolbox of ideas and encouragement prepared to come alongside of each and everyone of you as you fire up your marriage! You will LOVE this issue!
As I have
shared with those we have counseled in the past few weeks, Harold
and I were once where you are. I remember sitting in the midst of
the rubbish of our crashed relationship having no idea what on
earth I could do different to build a marriage that could continue
for life! My heart has broken for you, but I have deep rumblings
of complete excitement for what God is about to do for you and
your family! He is ready to SHOW OUT FOR YOU just like He has for
Harold and me! You are going to LOVE this! I think you will find
some new, fresh, fun ideas for getting your marriage back where
you so desire for it to be!
For those
of you with a few reservations about our theme, I want to
challenge you to gather the "fire-wood" and "fan the flames" of
romance in your marriage. You have a real treat in store for you!
Everything in this issue is written for you too! We promise that
everything in this issue will fire up your marriage as never
before! TOTALLY guaranteed!
For those of you who have been praying and seeking God for fresh and fun ideas for ministering to your sweetheart, you are going to LOVE THIS ISSUE! We have TONS of great ideas for fun, exciting, and passionate romance! You WILL LOVE IT!
So, beloved friends, grab a big cup of tea...maybe a bit of yummy chocolate...recharge your printer cartridge...it is once again TIME FOR TEA (and ROMANCE!)
Have fun! Cindy Rushton
"Romance is about the little things. It's much
more about the small gestures--the little ways of making daily life
with your lover a bit more special--than it is about extravagant,
expensive gestures (although the outrageous certainly has its place
in the romantic's repetoire."
~Gregory J.P. Godek~
