I recently received something in the mail from the Joyce Meyer ministries. It is a card about the size of a bookmark with 7 Practical Ways to Strengthen Your Relationships.

I think I am going to put it in my Bible.
Here is one of them:
 

FEELING DISCONNECTED OR TOO SELF-FOCUSED?

Relationship Tip:  Give of yourself intentionally –

Encourage, serve, and bless others daily.

Why It Works:  Loving others as God loves you

Strengthens bonds and creates joy.

Scripture:  “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over (with no space left for more). For with the standard of measurement you use (when you do good to others), it will be measured to you in return.” (Luke 6:38 AMP)

Action Step:  Write down at least one way to bless someone this week.
