A few years ago, my daughter was at a ministry school where she was taught all sorts of valuable things. She sent a text message one afternoon that said the following:
“They’re blessing all the married couples’ sex lives right now. Passing it on!”
My first thought was: How did she know?
My second thought was: This would be a great FaceBook status.
And so I posted it.
It’s a beautiful thing when friends come alongside you on FaceBook to share your laughter and add meaningful thoughts. One particularly knowledgable individual shared this:
In the Jewish culture, there is darn near a blessing recited for everything. I once asked a rabbi if there was a blessing recited before sex, and his reply was sex, itself, is a blessing, in that it’s a mitzvah, or commanded behavior, and obedience of God’s Word is considered a blessing in and of itself.
To which I responded:
Tip of the night: Gaze at night at your beloved’s back and whisper, “Don’t you want the blessing?”
We all laughed in a jolly fashion and went back to our usual routines . . . when I received this secret message from an unnamed friend.
“I’d like to thank you very much, Mrs Hanan. I have lost count of the number of times Hubby Darling has asked me if I would like to receive the blessing . . . since YESTERDAY, when I foolishly read him your post. :s”
:D:D
P.S. Any time I can help your marriage, just like I helped our friend’s, let me know.
