Simple Recipes for Romance Weekly Idea

Jeff wanted me to post this on the blog as a challenge for our class.

The Recipe:
Make a list of at least five things you admire about your spouse, write those things in a card or letter, and then mail it to your spouse. That's right, mail it. You can mail it to work or home. Your spouse will love it and appreciate it!

The Key.....Set a goal to mail it by Wednesday afternoon and then wait on their response to the card or letter.

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK....

"Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8
