How many of you have given up a pleasure for the Lord...I used to really enjoy settling down for the evening to watch my soap`s, it`s something i have done since my children were little, once they were in bed i would make my evening drink and sit glued to the T.V watching each soap. Many year`s later and now a much older women, i live on my own, and up untill a few week`s ago i was doing the same thing, have my bath, then dinner and settle down for the soap programs, but 3 week`s ago i felt the Holy Spirit put on my heart that what i was watching was not pleasing to Him, to be honest i thought it was my own thoughts and carried on watching them night after night, but then i realized that the soaps i had been watching for years were making me turn away from viewing,i was closing my eyes on certain parts, they became less enjoyable which made me realize that yes in fact it was the Holy Spirit talking to me, you see the soap programs are now introducing same sex relationships which means the viewers watch men kissing men and women with women, then on another there was a character who plays a church role kissing an outsider, that`s not to mention what else goes on in these soaps, it made me aware how the once simple shows to wind down to at the end of the evening are no longer family viewing, back in the days i wouldnt dream of sending one of my children out while viewing these soaps, but now i would cringe watching it if any of my grand children were snuggled up with me. Children are seeing these thing`s all over the place and unless we teach them that these things are wrong, i am afraid that my grand children will grow up thinking this is the norm. Since these actions are against the Holy Spirit, after two weeks of watching no telly, yesterday i removed it from my bedroom, i have had temptation to go back to it, but now it`s gone, instead i have been watching great documentaries about people who risked and still do risk their lives for our beautiful LORD Jesus Christ, we have to be careful what our eyes do see, so that`s one past pleasure that i have given up, do you have any and if so, can you share... xox...
