I am sure we are all aware that about 10.00 pm each evening and onwards the activity on the Internet, and especially Facebook, escalates. This also happens on the Homeschooling media. It seems that this is "mommy time" for many women. After the day with the children mothers are ready for "time on their own" and to pan out.
However, I believe we have to watch this temptation. Maybe a couple of nights a week, but please, not every night. Schedules are different in every home, but most times this is the time that should be "husband and wife" time. It's time to go to bed together--talk, pray, cuddle, fellowship, and whatever else! When you leave your husband to go to bed on his own, you are not building your marriage relationship. It may seem insignificant, but when it happens night after night you give opportunity for the enemy to bring distance in your relationship, and even sexual temptation to your husband.
Now please don't think I'm preaching at you. I have most probably been the most guilty of all. I am a workaholic and for years, after the evening meal and devotions, I would work on Above Rubies until I could not keep my eyes open. I thought I had to drain every bit of life out of me before I hit the sack. But I have had to repent of this lifestyle. It's not conducive to the ultimate blessing of a marriage relationship.
We've always had a great marriage, but it's amazing how incredibly better it can be when you make time for your husband instead of yourself.
I know it's hard not to give into this media trend temptation, but building your marriage will bring far greater blessings to you and your husband, your family, and even to future generations.

When you have an opportunity to go out to enjoy yourself, who do you want to go with? Do you want to go with girlfriends? Or your husband? We lways want to go with our best friend, don't we?
Do you have lots of work to do today. I do too.
As Moses wielded his humble rod before Pharaoh, he received resistance, ridicule, and rejection. However, in the midst of this mockery and derision, he wrought mighty miracles--some of the most outstanding miracles the world has ever seen.
What an amazing privilege, and yet enormous responsibility we have to prepare our children for their destiny. Ultimately, it is the moving of the Holy Spirit in their lives that brings this to pass. However, God has chosen us as parents to be His vessels to teach, train, pray, and prepare their hearts for God's service. We are not parents for a joke! We are not parents just to have the name of mother or father. God has chosen us for a job. A massive
A confession. Did you know I am still working on a degree? Actually, I have been working on it for years, since I was about 18 years, and I still haven't got to the end.
This is a big question in this time when the religion of tolerance is becoming more and more prevalent. I find that whenever I post anything on an issue of morality and standing up for God's righteousness that I immediately receive comments of "Don't judge." Most people know the Scripture, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." However, I wonder if they are aware that there are many other Scriptures on this subject in God's Word. In fact, God's Word is filled wi
Every morning my husband and I pray that God will pour out His Spirit upon our children, our children's children, and future generations. We all seek to be diligent parents, but ultimately it is only the moving of the Holy Spirit upon our children's lives and in their lives that draws them into a life of living close to God and fulfilling their destiny.
Dear older mothers, why do you feel you now have to go back to the work force? Your career hasn't changed. You are just moving into a different gear. God doesn't take away your motherhood career just because your children have grown! You have a greater realm of motherhood to enter into. There is a world of afflicted and hurting people waiting for love and encouragement. Ask God who He wants you to reach out to. Ask Him who He wants you to gather into your home to love and nurture. Now that your children are grown, you have more time to reach the broken-hearted and to uplift and strengthen the downcast and disillusioned.
Do you sometimes feel despised by the world around you for choosing to stay home with your precious children? Often family members cause you to feel inferior and that you should be doing something greater with your life. Dear mother, please be encouraged. You are right where God wants you to be. You have the highest career in the nation as you train the next generation; as you make a stable, loving, peaceful home for your children; as you daily fill th
It's hard to believe that 36 states of USA have now legalized homosexual marriage. Alabama is fighting hard to stand against it. If it goes down, there will be only 13 states left!
What a joy and utmost blessing to be "saved" by the blood of Jesus Christ. The word is "sozo" and means "to save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, and make whole." What a wonderful word. We have all these blessings through Christ who saved us.
Revelation 1:3 tells us: "Blessed is the one who READS ALOUD the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." We know this is talking about the book of Revelation, but I believe it applies to every word in the Bible. It is more powerful to read God's Word aloud than silently. It seems to penetrate our hearts and minds far more intently.
I was reading in Revelation 1:20 this morning how each golden lampstand represented a church, a body of believers who God wants to shine for Him in this dark world. We as families are also meant to be lampstands to our neighbors around about us and to all who come into our home.
The following Scriptures are known as the Roman Road to Salvation. They are Scriptures from the book of Romans which show God's wondrous way of salvation. It is important that we know these Scriptures. It is most important that our children know these Scriptures. It shows them the way to experience salvation through Jesus Christ. It shows them how to lead another person to Christ. 
"Be strong . . . and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts" (Haggai 2:4). 
What a beautiful thing to be a "blessing soul." Proverbs 11:25 says, "The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." The margin in my Bible says the "liberal soul" is a "soul of blessin
Strength and dignity are traits of the Proverbs 31 woman.
One of the BLESSED women in the Bible was called Jael. God said that she was to be blessed above all women who lived in tents (that's how Jael, who was a Kenite, lived in those days). Why was she given such honor? Because she
