 Artist: Ana Helena B. Temptation ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ When temptation knocks at my front door, I take a breath and count to four. I then discern what’s right or wrong, And choose High Road to walk along. The Universe has eyes that see, Whether I am good, or bad I be. So I just do my very best, Knowing He’ll take care of rest! |

Interloper ~ Hmmm! Twenty-four, you say?!? lol Oh, Doctor of Love, and what praytell happens when you reach that number?!?  I think if we are predominantly good, a little bit of bad won't remove our names from the Good Book! lol  Linda |

Roneice ~ 104, you say?!? I suppose on occasion, I have had to count that high as well! lol Good to hear from you! Be good! But a little bit o' bad just makes us human! Giving you a big, warm, welcome-back hug, EA |

I think God allows us to just BE human as you say. There are many kinds of temptations, aren't there? I just surrendered without any counting to my intense desire of eating a piece of chocolate. Innocent temptation? Well, we do have that little inner voice whispering to us when we should not cede ... Your wise reminder made me examine my behaviour, dear Linda, isn't that a great deed!?! You pour out a few words and they cause me to do some sort of "internal auditing"! Your voice is always powerful, dear Linda Angel. Love and hugs. Margherita  |
