I posted this on my kitchen cupboard and my son says he thinks it is sacreligous. What do you think? (O:
"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief. A false witness that speaketh lies, he that soweth discord among brethren and finally ....
THE LEAVING OF DISHES IN THE KITCHEN SINK WHICH STILL HAVE FOOD ON THEM AND ARE NOT READY TO BE PUT INTO THE DISHWASHER.
I'm pretty sure that God actually intended to add that last part and besides, if you count it all up, there are six, no seven things God actually mentioned in the opening passage. The dishes part makes eight. So, it does look a little suspicious, kind of like something our government would pull ........ but my son just made me a wonderful sandwich with whole wheat bread, provolone cheese and two whole cherry tomatoes in it, for which I am extremely grateful. The two cherry tomatoes really were whole, by the way.
Thank you Lord .... and thank you, Sean.
Missing my boy mostly just all the time. (O:
Choosing to retain anger and bitterness towards someone eats us up and makes us sick..... while the perpetrator of the offence goes free. Why do intelligent people take punishment upon themselves, rather than to let it go, and forgive? Forgiveness is not weakness or we would all do it. Forgiveness is not giving a pass to the other person. It's giving a pass to ourselves ..... to heal and go on.
