All vices are for a time; for they are excited for the present. The impetuosity of anger is appeased when vengeance has been taken; the pleasure of the body puts an end to lust; desire is destroyed either by the full enjoyment of the objects which it seeks, or by the excitement of other affections; ambition, when it has gained the honors which it wished for, loses its strength; likewise the other vices are unable to stand their ground and remain, but they are ended by the very enjoyment which they desire. Therefore they withdraw and return. But virtue is perpetual, without any intermission; nor can he who has once taken it up depart from it. For if it should have any interruption, if we can at any time do without it, vices, which always oppose virtue, will return.
Since, therefore, vices are contrary to virtue, the whole systems must of necessity differ from and be contrary to each other. Because vices are commotions and perturbations of the soul; virtue, on the contrary, is mildness and tranquillity of mind. Because vices are temporary, and of short duration; virtue is perpetual and constant, and always consistent with itself. Because the fruits of vices, that is, pleasures, equally with themselves, are short and temporary, therefore the fruit and reward of virtue are everlasting. Because the advantage of vices is immediate, therefore that of virtue is future.
Part 3 of our “Parenting for Mothers Only” series is “How to Show Respect to Your Husband” — and I’m just admitting that this is one of the hardest parts! ??

Genesis 22;1, “Some time later God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he answered.” Did Abraham trust his Creator? After all didn’t Abraham already do the things he was told and go to the places he was instructed to go? What makes this test different? Abraham was asked to offer Isaac back to the Creator and Abraham complied. His statement in verse 8 reveals Abraham’s trust, “Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.” Abraham didn’t need signs and wonders to continue to trust the Almighty, he didn’t look around or hesitate, he walked up the hill with Isaac knowing that everything would be done exactly the way his Creator needed it to be done. What will you do today to display your trust for your Creator?
