Journal ~ More Sex Makes for a REALLY Happy Family

Hello Sisters!

I'm sitting here with my Starbucks Iced Soy Latte add whip and a truffle from Trader Joes (actually 4 truffles, but I'm not gonna eat anymore!) Have you noticed that your relationship with your husband, children and the Lord are so much better when your having lots of good sex? It's the good sex with hubby that makes him happy, he makes you happy, you make the children happy, everyone is happy and because everyone is so happy you WANT to get up earlier and spend time with the Lord who actually invented this beautiful act of love making.

I'm reminded of a caller on Dr. Laura who said her husband was staying out late with the boys. She wanted to know how to get him home. Dr. Laura said "tell him your having sex every night at 6pm. and then do so faithfully for at least 2 weeks, he will be home alright!"

If some of you look at sex as a chore, it shouldn't be. If it's work, then you are missing it somewhere. Correct the problem and for heaven sakes, bless your man!...it will only come back to bless you! :)

I got the "Road Less Traveled" cd by Serene and Pearl, daughters of Nancy Campbell, and it is really nice. The words are right-on and very encouraging for us wife's. When we were in the van last, my 14 yob said, "what track it the kissing song?" I started thinking, my son is hearing women sing about the good times and hard times of a marriage/family relationship and how in the end, we come out on the "prosperous/blessing" side if we will CHOOSE to stay walking in the LOVE command (John 15).

While many are out and about, going crazy with Christmas shopping, we are not. For the last 2 weeks, and the next 2 weeks I have had no going here and there! YEA!!!!!!!! We have gone to the library in the last 2 weeks and have had some neighbors over, but that is about it. IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO JUST STAY AT HOME AND TALK ABOUT JESUS AND ENJOY YOUR CHILDREN AND HUSBAND, THERE IS NOTHING BETTER!!!!!!!!

We are not opposed to Christmas at all, but we don't "get into it" as some do. We simply tell the children the truth. Many Christians celebrate Jesus' B-day, but Jesus said to remember His DEATH, and so we do so daily. Christmas is pagan in its orgins, you can't refute that, but we don't want to judge, some believers feel that Christmas is important and that is fine to. What is important, is that we WALK IN LOVE everyday of the year.

We have a simple breakfast on Christmas morning with extended family and pretty much sit around and talk for a few hours. We don't to the presents thing except for a few for the younger ones and younger cousins.

I have so much to write, but the baby is awake and needs some one to read to her. :) Elias (5) got a book about Star Wars and wants to lie in bed, snuggle and read, so off I go. Will talk in a few days. :)

Blessings,
Shannon
