7 things...

At the beginning of our family devotions tonight Dave asked each of us to say 7 things we don't like... Here are our answers...

Emily
1. clothes that feel funny
2. bugs
3. the dark
4. cream cheese
5. peppers
6. the Clue DVD game
7. wet grass
Nathan
1. most vegetables (Mom does not like that answer!)
2. shots
3. losing at games
4. going to bed early
5. being thirsty
6. the dentist
7. hurting myself
Dave
1. people who talk on their cell phones while driving
2. cutting the grass
3. disobedient dogs (has he met our dog???)
4. baggy pants
5. too small shirts
6. eating dinner late
7. sweating
Jen
1. selfish people
2. swiss cheese
3. mushrooms
4. mildew
5. pimples
6. a messy garage
7. clutter

We were all wondering where this was going until we read from Proverbs 6:16-19 "These are six things the Lord hates, seven are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers." WHOA...kind of makes my "hate" list seem silly, doesn't it??? I'm convicted at how insignificant my "hate" list is and how I need to think deeper about these things the Lord hates and get them out of my heart.
