WELCOME TO
FAMILY TYMES!
I hope this
issue finds all our readers happy and healthy. Things
are so hectic right now for my family as we are finishing
out the college year and then heading into high school
finals in June. Until I find someone to take over Family
Tymes, I am going to reduce the issues to once per month.
If you are at all interested in purchasing Family Tymes
(domain name, website, and ezine that reaches 15,000
people), contact me at:
patti@familytymes.org.
The price is negotiable and I will take payments if
necessary. I would like to recoup the money I spent on
creating the site, but more importantly I want to see
someone with a love for families continue the site. If
you are at all interested give me a hollar...and let's make
a deal!
We
have some great new articles in this issue and on this
website, so be sure to check them out.
Until
Next Time!

FAMILY BUDGET
Attitude Check
By Doris Dobkins
Are you
good at handling money? Are you good at money management?
Robert J. Hastings wrote, “money management is basically
self-control, for unless one learns to control himself, he
is no more likely to control his money than he is to
discipline his habits, his time or his temper. Undisciplined
money usually spells undisciplined persons.” (This is a
quote, I didn’t say it and I’m sure there are exceptions.)
These are
some strong statements but they need to be said. So how do
we learn self-control with respect to our money? The key is
to obtain a proper attitude. Don’t consider yourself in
bondage when managing your money. Look at yourself as FREE
when you do manage it correctly.
You will
have freedom and power to do what you should instead of what
your impulses suggest. You won’t have liabilities and debts
hanging over your head. You won’t have bill collectors
calling you demanding payments. You won’t have the worries
associated with debt when you can’t make a payment or met an
obligation. And there won’t be extra month at the end of
very paycheck. You will learn to be content where you are
and with what you have.
So don’t
think of money management as a systematic plan, which you
must be a slave to. Think of money management as an
attitude, your attitude toward how you save, spend and earn
your money
Make today
the first day on your quest to financial freedom and a debt
free life.

INSPIRATIONAL
For many, the
idea of God being their father may not be a pleasant one. We
have a human tendency to project our perception of
fatherhood, based on our own experience with our earthly
fathers, onto our idea of the fatherhood of God. Some never
knew their earthly fathers, some had abusive fathers, some
were deserted by their fathers, some had loving endearing
fathers and some lost their fathers due to sickness or
catastrophe.

Another excellent book from
Hearts at Home!
This book gives you plenty of ideas for creating and
maintaining a loving relationship with your teenager through
the often turbulent adolescent years.
What sets this book apart from other "parenting teen" books
(in my eyes) is that it follows parenting up to the college
years and gives you ideas for launching your young adult
into the adult world.
If you have teens and young
adults in your home, make sure you get a copy.
You can purchase each book for
$10.95 by
