Oh, men may not know your name or the sacrifices you're making. Oh, but be sure God does. You may not feel like your role is important, but believe me like those women who supported Jesus' ministry, you're the foundation...you're the support beams. http://truewoman.com/?id=1672 2011-04-15T10:48:59-05:00 I want to be his number one encourager and affirmer. But I’ve noticed something. With children, grandchildren, young wives, friends, and co-workers . . . it’s easy to find the words of encouragement and support for them. I wish that were true with the hubby–but it’s not. http://truewoman.com/?id=1504 2010-11-17T16:50:17-05:00 So often women lament the fact that they desire a spiritual leader; theylong for their husband to lead–but he won’t! http://truewoman.com/?id=1189 2010-09-01T11:59:29-05:00 I had been a Christian for over 20 years, but this was the first time someone had offered to pray for me, and then did so--immediately--out loud and in my hearing, and over the phone! I thought to myself, how bold, how strange, and how wonderful to hear someone praying for me. http://internetevangelismday.com/piggyback.php 2010-08-08T09:39:49-05:00 If you are already involved in some area of web evangelism, then Internet Evangelism Day can be used to enhance your own ministry. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204:15-16&version=NIV 2009-09-03T14:03:38-05:00 The metaphor of a human body is used to describe Christ's church here. Each individual limb and ligament supports the others, to create a functioning whole body--just as the individual members of a church work together to support the whole. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Never-Alone-8086 2008-09-05T13:24:44-05:00 There have been many times in my life when that is the kind of support I really, really needed. It felt like no one else could understand the burden I was carrying. I was swamped by a wave of discouragement. I could have lost the love of my life at a couple of points. There are moments when you feel totally abandoned and isolated, alone and then there is Jesus; His hand on yours saying, “I’m right here.” That might be the kind of ‘be there’ person you need in your life right now. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/How-to-Carry-the-People-You-Need-to-Carry-4447 2008-08-28T16:45:02-05:00 Our oldest grandson learned something that day in the woods - "I can carry my brother - with help from above." So can you. It may be that at this time in your life you've been assigned by God to carry someone who cannot make it on their own. Maybe you've got more than one person to carry - even a bunch of people. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Hearing-Your-Child-4112 2008-08-18T16:16:25-05:00 If you're a mom or dad, you need to hear what the first deaf Miss America said about hearing - that you need to do whatever you have to do to be able to hear your children. Some of us parents whose physical hearing is just fine have often been deaf to what our children may be thinking, or feeling or needing. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Everybody-s-Victory-4127 2008-08-18T16:01:52-05:00 Rescues are usually like that. Oh, one person or a few people may actually bring the person out, but that's because of a much larger group of people who are behind them in many ways. And nowhere is that more true than in the spiritual rescue of people who are trapped and dying in the pit that the Bible calls sin. But all too often, the people who are supporting the rescuers have little or no sense of how vital they are; how many would be lost without what they do, how much each rescue is their victory, too.
