"Ye that love the Lord hate evil."-Psalm 97:10
    
    Thou hast good reason to "hate evil," for only consider what harm it has already wrought thee. Oh, what a world of mischief sin has brought into thy heart! Sin blinded thee so that thou couldst not see the beauty of the Saviour; it made thee deaf so that thou couldst not hear the Redeemer's tender invitations. Sin turned thy feet into the way of death, and poured poison into the very fountain of thy being; it tainted thy heart, and made it "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." Oh, what a creature thou wast when evil had done its utmost with thee, before divine grace interposed! Thou wast an heir of wrath even as others; thou didst "run with the multitude to do evil." Such were all of us; but Paul reminds us, "but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." We have good reason, indeed, for hating evil when we look back and trace its deadly workings. Such mischief did evil do us, that our souls would have been lost had not omnipotent love interfered to redeem us. Even now it is an active enemy, ever watching to do us hurt, and to drag us to perdition. Therefore "hate evil," O Christians, unless you desire trouble. If you would strew your path with thorns, and plant nettles in your death-pillow, then neglect to "hate evil"; but if you would live a happy life, and die a peaceful death, then walk in all the ways of holiness, hating evil, even unto the end. If you truly love your Saviour, and would honour Him, then "hate evil." We know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like abundant intercourse with the Lord Jesus. Dwell much with Him, and it is impossible for you to be at peace with sin.
    
    "Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
    And make my heart sincere;
    Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
    But keep my conscience clear."

Aloha Friday ~ Apr. 1, 2011



The question for today came from Keeping up with the Rheinlander's.  I just couldn't pass it up.

Question:

Does your child(or do/did you) have a friend that they sleep with or have to have with them all the time??
On, my yes, both my girls have had attachments. 

 

The oldest was her bed pillow.  She's tote that thing all over the house like her doll.  And when we read books she'd rub it with the back side of her hand.  When she was about 4 we finally said, "Pillow must stay in your bed; however, when you need to come check on pillow you can."  It was a hard break, but the pillow was getting so filthy something had to be done.

The youngest (age 15 now) still to this day is attached to the blue bear.  This bear still is found on her bed.  He is so threadbare it isn't even funny.  I think the only thing that keeps the bear together is the doll clothes she keeps on him.  He has been sew so much it isn't even funny.  You can see his stuffing his material is so thin.  I undressed him some so you could have a better view.  Definitely shows signs of being well loved. 

 



And yes they both slept with all kinds of stuffed animals.  actually they both would line both sides of their bed with animals after they pulled down the covers.  There wasn't room for them to sleep.  They would roll over on top of them all the time.  Finally, as they got older they sent the animals to the floor realizing it was rather uncomfortable.

Does your child(or do/did you) have a friend that they sleep with or have to have with them all the time??
