BAD...GOOD...{No Gray Area}

Wouldn't it be nice
if life were as cut and dried
as this antique tube tester?

I mean, something is either

or it is

Right?

No gray areas.
No arguments.

Wouldn't it be nice if you
could just tell your kids,
"I'm sorry, that's BAD?"
and they'd just respond,
"Okay, mother - yes, it is BAD."
and that would be the end of it?

Yeah, wishful thinking!

Actually, a little gray area
is good sometimes.
I think it causes us to really
think about our desires, motives, thoughts,
and God's will for us,
before deciding if something is
BAD or GOOD.

I just found this old
tube tester really charming.
I liked the matter-of-factness
about it.

I think it would be cute
to put next to a child's photo.
The photo can sit on one side or other
of the tester - depending on how
the child is "testing" you that day!

By the way, it's listed
at Knick of Time on Etsy now!

Have a  night!

NO argument!

I can frequently be found visiting these parties.
