10 Steps to Enjoy the Holidays Without Regrets
10 Steps to Enjoying the Holidays without RegretsRhonda Stoppe [00:00:00]:Today, we're gonna talk about an article that I wrote called 10 Steps to Enjoy the Holidays Without Regrets. Wow. How is it that the holidays are upon us? And they are. And not only the holidays, but I have 15 grandkids. Most of their birthdays are in the months of October, November, December. So we have so much fun over the next few months. Lots of family gatherings, lots of time together. Maybe you can relate.Rhonda Stoppe [00:00:29]:But sometimes, we can make decisions. We can interact in ways that When the family all goes home, we have some regrets. So today, we're gonna visit that topic, 10 steps to enjoy the holidays without regrets. Holidays with family can stir up all kinds of emotions. For some, it's a time of gift giving and thankful reflection. For others, It means stressful family gatherings or a grievous reminder that a loved one you have lost is no longer with you. As holidays approach, we can look at 10 steps that you can practice to help prepare to celebrate in ways that you will not have regrets. Number 1, realize the value of remembering God's faithfulness.Rhonda Stoppe [00:01:13]:In Joshua chapter 4, the Israelites were able to cross over the Jordan Because God stopped the waters. As they crossed, Joshua instructed leaders to pick up stones to build a monument to God's faithfulness. Although Israel had witnessed miracles, God knew their propensity to forget and yours and mine too. Right? So he instructed Joshua to pick up Stones from the very river that he'd stopped as a memorial to their children of his faithfulness. Not only was this monument To remind Israel of their descendants that they should fear the Lord forever, it would also serve as a Testimony to all the people of all the earth that he is the mighty one true god. Joshua 4:1 through 24 is where you'll find that story. God's works We're not only for Israel, they were also a way of making his name known to all the nations. Remember when the spies entered Jericho and Rahab the harlot hid them? She said this.Rhonda Stoppe [00:02:16]:I love this. I know the Lord has given you the land, That the terror of you has fallen on us and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you, For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you. That's Joshua 29. I'm sorry. 29 through 11. When God shows up in mighty ways, it builds our faith. Right? We should learn from God's instructions to remind Selves, our children, our grandchildren, and the watching world that god is the one true god. This holiday season, do not forget the miraculous way that God intervened into the affairs of men to establish our great nation.Rhonda Stoppe [00:03:01]:This Christmas, remember how he gave his son to save us from our sins. Let's move on. Number 2, Expect something will not go as planned. For 1 holiday meal, I made the sweet potatoes that I make every year. And after I placed the marshmallows on the top of them and I popped them into the oven, I forgot. I got distracted, and, of course, the marshmallows burned to a crispThank you for joining us.

GuestCast: iWork4Him: How to Affair Proof Your Marriage
GUEST CAST EPISODE: Show notes iWork4Him How to Affair proof your marriageiWork4Him is a show solely focused on the intersection of our Faith in Jesus and our Work. When these two collide – fantastic things happen all around us. People start to benefit from you following Jesus whether they believe in Jesus or not. That’s when the enemy goes full on frontal attack. He wants to compromise your reputation at work so that your testimony is no longer attractive.  What is one way he does this? An Affair with an office mate.  Whether you are a man or a woman, A committed follower of Jesus or one just finding their way in being a Jesus Follower, the enemy wants to see you fail.  How do we protect our reputation and the reputation of our savior? We need to affair proof our marriages. We need to have a solid ground to stand on at home so that our steadfastness isn’t compromised at work. Even if you are not married, an affair at work will significantly dismantle your witness as a Christian.  Today joining Martha and Jim Brangenberg is Rhonda Stoppe with www.NoRegretsWoman.com Rhonda Stoppe returns to iWork4Him for another great interview about marriage. Rhonda and Steve have been married for 42 years and she knows that they continue to need to be transparent with each other and take their advice from scripture.  When they were new parents Rhonda found herself dressing up for church on Sundays and appreciated the compliments of a gentleman there.  After a few weeks of getting compliments she approached Steve and basically explained the situation and told him he needs to compliment her more, as she was looking forward to the compliments of the man at church.  She knew this behaviour could have bad consequences and that is how most affairs get started. Applying that story to the workplace is pretty easy.  We need to set good boundaries and clearly protect our marriages.  We can do this by strengthening our marriages and making them a priority.  We shared the 72-hour intimacy rule with her and Rhonda is going to add that to her messaging.  Rhonda encouraged women to pursue their husbands.  This is a successful way to affair proof your marriage. There is a road to recovery for an affair.  God has forgiven us as far as the East is from the West.  Don’t stop protecting your marriage.  When the kids leave and our lives change we shouldn’t look elsewhere for attention.  Rhonda encouraged marriages to be careful even in our virtual relationships while we work distantly.  It can quickly get out of control.
