Dangerous Distractions
Greetings to my striving sisters in Christ! When we were on the homesteads I looked forward to winter time as being slower, not such hard physical work with the gardens, yards, animals, wood cutting, preserving foods etc. It was a time to focus on other things, inside (especially when you live in an icy, snowy climate like we did.) That can also lead to idle time if sisters are not careful and idle time can lead to sin. I took this picture to share a warning with you. Years ago, before I was born again in Christ, I used to get some of these magazines. I liked to look at the country homes, the recipes, decorating ideas, read people's stories etc. Then when I became a new creation I realized that although some of the stuff in them was not sinful, it was idle and a waste of my time when we were to be redeeming it (Ephesians 5). There was also a lot of sin...Christ-mass, Easter and all the pagan holidays are showcased, the people are immodestly showing themselve
