Learning Disabilities

Leave a Comment

Specific Learning Disabilities sabotage the efforts of many children to learn in the traditional way. Our son was having an extremely difficult time in school. His classmates treated him like the class dunce and his teachers said he was rebellious. I was spending innumerable hours helping him through home work. He was bright, but just didn’t seem to be able to do school work. I knew something was wrong, but what?

Even our furlough year in the States didn’t help. In a Christian school, they just treated him like he had spiritual problems! In the last month we were home, I heard a radio broadcast that mentioned learning disabilities. But it was too late to do anything about it then.

The Gift Exchange

Leave a Comment

by Mike Constantine

Christmas season is a time we set aside for giving and receiving gifts in celebration of the greatest gift ever given, the Lord Jesus. But it would be a sad thing to give a costly gift and then find out that it was never used or enjoyed.

Imagine your own personal gift exchange with Jesus. Think about Jesus sitting down with you to exchange gifts. Think what it would be like for Him to give you precious things and how you would feel after you had received them. Since we can’t receive anything from Him until we first give Him something, let’s begin our imaginary scene with you giving a gift to Jesus.

This week’s Peter’s Wife is going to be a bit different. Many of you are fairly new to the Internet and I have come across some interesting and helpful information for you.

We will all receive email chain letters. Some of these are the same as we used to receive by mail, recipe chains or post cards or ‘hugs.’ Now we can receive prayer requests, virus warnings, and freebie offers by email. The directions below should help you to sort out truth from hoax.  [Read more…]

Changing Roles

Leave a Comment

Women everywhere struggle with their roles and responsibilities. Living and working in another culture complicates that struggle. Some of our roles are easier to see than others. Our role as wife is primary. God gave us to our husbands to be a “helper suitable” for him. Our role as mother adds a lot of new responsibilities. If we are employed, we have more responsibilities added to our lives.

But some of our roles and responsibilities are harder to identify. Depending on our husband’s work, we may play many different roles and have many added responsibilities. As an active member of our church we will have varying roles and responsibilities. Just as good citizens, we have roles and responsibilities to fulfill.

Helping Kids Adjust

Leave a Comment

Today I’d like to do something a little different. Our topic is helping children adapt to another culture. A few years ago I wrote this children’s story to illustrate the importance of preparing our children for change. For those of you with children, reading this story together may give you a springboard for discussing the changes they have experienced. For those of you without children, I hope you will be blessed as you take a few minutes to read a children’s story. [Read more…]
