I just want you to know how much I have and still am enjoying your ministry to women through this newsletter.  I share it and pieces of it all the time!  This is such a special gift that you share.  My Mother died when I was 14 and this newsletter would have been something she would have loved.  Reading it each time is like spending a moment with her.  Thank you. ~ Leigh Hamilton in Virginia

Thank you so very much for compiling this newsletter. There are so many helpful articles. I always appreciate articles on saving money, new recipes, organizational tips, and advice on raising kids. We younger women/moms/wives need mentors in our lives to encourage us and give us wisdom! ~ Leslie Lobdell in Arkansas


I have really enjoyed your very helpful newsletters!  I have three children... age 4, 3, and 10 months.... Jennifer, Moses, and Elisha.  I enjoy them all, and they bring so much joy to our home! I love your helpful tips for saving money, and esp. encouragement for mothers... it seems like often it's just what I needed for the day!!  THANK-YOU so much for the time you put into these newsletters! ~ Serena Yoder in Pennsylvania


I just finished reading this latest issues of "Heart to Heart" (10/7/09 issue) and wanted to say I think I enjoyed it perhaps the most of all you've ever sent! Love the recipes, like making your own sausage (what a smart idea!) and baby wipes (the baby wipes here are of really poor quality, so hopefully my "homemade" ones will be better!:)), and the idea for the "What's That? Box" - I plan to make one for my newest little nephew, due to arrive in a few weeks, for Christmas, and while I'm at it, I'll make one for our April baby as well. :)  Thank you.  The information is REALLY useful! ~ Lori Turner (Last Name - Czech Republic (Oct., 2009)

Thanks for your lovely newsletter.  I love receiving them.  Keep at it! ~ Love from Viv Gregory in Australia

      I really enjoy Heart to Heart and thank you for all the work you put into it.  In this December letter, as I read about times for Thanksgiving, I thought someone might be interested in something I began a couple years ago. Every Thursday is a Thanksgiving Day for me now.  I chose that day because it is easy to remember since the national holiday is on Thursday but any day will do.
       On those days, I try not to ask for anything in prayer (unless it is an emergency), and instead I just thank the Lord.  For my Bible reading that morning, I say the 103rd Psalms and really think about what it is saying.  Since I am on my church's prayer chain, if there are requests on my Thursdays, of course, I pray for those.
       There are so many things to thank the Lord for, but I also try to think of something I have never thanked Him for. Have you ever thanked Him for toes?  You could not stand up very well without your big toe.  Have you ever thanked Him for fitted sheets?  If you are my age, you remember what a hassle it used to be to keep flat sheets on a bed. Have you ever thanked Him for a good parking spot, a driver waiting to let you turn into your street off a busy one or in my case, insulin?
      But most of all, I thank Him because of his great salvation and his precious gift to me in his Son.

After receiving the Christmas newsletters:
Thank you so much!  This has been very helpful especially since I ran out of ideas for our next few ladies' meetings in our church. May the Lord continue to use you and this beautiful ministry.  I have sent a copy via e-mail of your newsletter to a sister missionary in one of our churches in the district for her to start using and receiving. ~ Jennie Ramos in Michigan
