The Gift Of Family - Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother.
Bible In One Year: Amos 4-6; Revelation 7
Through her books and lectures, Edith Schaeffer has
become much appreciated for her insights into the
value of life's ordinary days. When she and her hus-
band Francis were first married, both sets of parents
lived nearby. The newlyweds divided each Sunday

father and your mother, that your days may be long
upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you"
(Exodus 20:12). The command to love and respect
our parents applies equally to children living at home,
newly independent young couples, and empty-
nesters.
Seize each moment you have to love and honor your
family. The opportunity won't last forever. —David

One benefit of using your newslet-
ter as a promotional tool is that you
can reuse content from other mar-
keting materials, such as press re-
leases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newslet-
ter might be to sell your product or service, the
key to a successful newsletter is making it useful
to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your news-
letter is to develop and write your own articles,
or include a calendar of upcoming events or a
special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” arti-
cles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can
write about a variety of topics but try to keep
your articles short.
