passing the temptation test

Posted on October 19, 2012March 31, 2017 by Norm

So here are some kids who are being tempted.
Notice how they try to resist, then bit by bit give in to temptation.
Or how they try to sneak ‘just a nibble’, hoping to get away with it.
Then there is the one who does not even bother to wait – better one now than two later.
Think about how you go through this same thing, how sometimes ‘just a nibble’ is the frist step down a slippery slope.
What is it that is tempting for you?

    Hilarious!!! I sympathize with the kids trying to resist something that tastes good! Sometimes allowing something like chips or cookies “once in a while” leads back into having them on a daily basis. And it creeps up … Like once a month, then once a week, then a few times a week and then why bother even trying anymore? I am also tempted by time suckers … Like when I need to do dishes and vacuum and make lunches but I sit down at the computer or with a book for “just 5 minutes” or sit down to text back and forth with a friend and next thing I know, it’s bedtime and everything is still waiting to get done! I don’t have a tv for this reason, but there are always things to fill time mindlessly!
