Then, i cried. I guess you just never know when God will speak to you through someone else, and by George today it was you!! I have been grey lately, and I too pray that he will create in me a clean heart!<br />Its funny how 15 minutes of your life has made such a difference in mine!

Mine does not have the wonderful Spiritual parallel, though! :) My favorite story about God being the only one who can clean us up is from The Chronicles of Narnia's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Those of you who have read it might remember when Eustace turns into a dragon and meets up with Aslan. Every time Eustace removes a layer of skin another one is there to remove. Only Aslan can really remove it.

My oldest daughter, now 16, had one til she was 6, then her sister was born and she gave up her blankie. <br /><br />It was passed along to her little sister, yes even after 6 long years but I guess they can tell when something has been loved so much. She still has that blankie, even now at 10 and it just remains something as part of her bedtime routine that she sleeps with. <br /><br />Gotta love it. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-43731984136345879342009-04-23T15:38:00.000-05:002009-04-23T15:38:00.000-05:00How true!!!

I try to wash them from time to time, but they'll never be the same again. Thankfully he doesn't take them everywhere with him. If he brings one along when we go somewhere it has to stay in the van. Also, he's responsible for them. I'm not carrying them. If he leaves them at home, I don't turn around to come get them. When I know we're going somewhere that might make him anxious (like the dentist or doctor) or if he's going to be sleeping in a new place, I will bring at least one along.<br />I LOVE the connection you made to our image of God. I feel like that filthy rag much of the time. Thanks!
