Michael Youssef`s Devotional

[Oxelon Newsletter]

	Michael Youssef's Devotional Some people have a spirit of generosity and that generosity is the fuel that keeps them going each day. In Luke, Jesus reminds us of a simple, yet basic truth: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you" (Luke 6:38). If we are stingy and withhold our tithes and offerings in support of God's work, then we can expect the same in return. Our motivation for giving to God's work should be to praise, worship, and honor Him. When you do give, make sure that you are motivated by God and not guilt. No price tag can be placed on Christ's death...
	Marital happiness hinges on wives keeping calm It can sometimes be difficult to regain composure after a particularly heated argument with a spouse. But new findings, published in the journal Emotion, show that long-term marital satisfaction depends on wives, not husbands, regulating their own emotions. Though a husband should probably not suggest that his wife "calm down" during a fight, researchers from the University of California-Berkeley and Northwestern University found that marriages in which wives were able to regain their composure quickly during a dispute were the happiest, both short and long term. The researchers assessed recorded interactions of over 80 heterosexual couples who were middl...

	One woman helps another when happy to haul a door Recently, I was in Construction Junction in North Point Breeze, where I delightedly found a great bargain on a used door for my son's remodeling. While standing in line I chatted with two other women. We all seemed to be on missions to help our sons with projects. I mentioned that Construction Junction will kindly "hold" an item for seven days for only $5, and I was so pleased about it because we couldn't get a truck to haul the door for several more days. "R" asked where my son lived, and I replied in Squirrel Hill. "R" said that she knew Squirrel Hill, that she had her son's van and that she would gladly deliver the door if I would just lead the way.
