"Get rid of your sins and leave all iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten in innocence. You will be strong and free of fear."Sorry this is late tonight...
Job 11:14-15
A vegetarian friend of mine went to a party and was handed a plate filled with wonderful appetizers. He selected one, took a bite, and then - to everyone's surprise he threw the remainder across the room with all his might. He stood with a stunned and bewildered look on his face. The appetizer had been filled with meat and his immediate reaction was to throw it as far away as possible. I think of that whenever I am tempted to grab something to eat that I shouldn't have. In my mind I have to throw it far away acting like it is something terrible so I won't give into the temptation.
Today's thought:
I will put far away anything that tempts me today.
Here's Izzy in her jammies (& sozo sleep shirt) ready for bed! Goodnight!

I love those pj pants!! Too cute!
Throwing the food...it's like Joseph & Potiphar's wife! You could try running away from food and get your exercise in, too! :)
Oh Amanda's comment cracked me up. Good point! I love Izzy's shiny pj pants. She's so precious.
Definitely sounded like fleeing from temptation. The vegetarian response must have been a real party-stopper. Wow.
I crave things for sure, but I just don't bring it into the home. Keep the temptations OUT!
