"That He may set him with princes."-Psalm 113:8
    
    Our spiritual privileges are of the highest order. "Among princes" is the place of select society. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Speak of select society, there is none like this! "We are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood." "We are come unto the general assembly and church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven." The saints have courtly audience: princes have admittance to royalty when common people must stand afar off. The child of God has free access to the inner courts of heaven. "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father." "Let us come boldly," says the apostle, "to the throne of the heavenly grace." Among princes there is abundant wealth, but what is the abundance of princes compared with the riches of believers? for "all things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's." "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Princes have peculiar power. A prince of heaven's empire has great influence: he wields a sceptre in his own domain; he sits upon Jesus' throne, for "He hath made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign for ever and ever." We reign over the united kingdom of time and eternity. Princes, again, have special honour. We may look down upon all earth-born dignity from the eminence upon which grace has placed us. For what is human grandeur to this, "He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus"? We share the honour of Christ, and compared with this, earthly splendours are not worth a thought. Communion with Jesus is a richer gem than ever glittered in imperial diadem. Union with the Lord is a coronet of beauty outshining all the blaze of imperial pomp.

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??
