"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."

Day #5 - Pooh and Company....



Today is my day...I decided to make a stamp that honored a favorite storybook character....Yep, I'm honoring the Hundred Acre Woods friends today...Pooh has been around a long time...1926

I want to thank Thearica from Pig Tales and Quilts  for being our faithful cheerleader for this blog hop.  Thanks to Madame Samm @ Sew We Quilt also for putting together the theme and giveaway.

started out with this

one of the requirements for this hop was the stamp had to bear the US or your state name...so found the alphabet fabric....





 did some fussy cutting...





another requirement was our project needed to have the price of a postage stamp on it....again thinking????

opted for a forever stamp means good whatever price may be

And the final project is....

fun pooh and friends table topper




thanks for visiting my Stamp creation. Don't forget to visit others on this hop.

    You can never go wrong with pooh and piglet.

    My hubby calls me poohbear and I call him my piglet. It all came about from a Christmas card I sent him on the first Christmas after we started seeing each other. The card said, I wonder what Piglet is doing, thought Pooh... I wish I were there to be doing it too".
