Oh, dear Sister Maxine: I do thank you so much for bringing up this very important, and timely, topic. Goodness me, this can pose a bit of a dilemma, as we are to keep our houses neat and clean always, to please our husbands at all times, always being diligent and conscientious. Proverbs 31:27 “ She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.”
So, it would not do to be without a method for the orderly hanging of garments in our closets. Yet, on the other hand, we do not want to have objects in our Godly dwellings that could be used for harmful, sinful purposes. My solution has been that I use plastic hangers that attach to each other, as shown below. They are harmless, and they are excellent at organizing various bits and bobs of clothing for the same ensemble. You’ll find that you can hang a skirt, slip, blouse and jacket — all on the same contraption.
And, you’ll find that this example of domestic organizing has the blessing of the
, too! I Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
Now, hangers are one thing, but I think it would be good to also check others areas of the house where similar, potentially-harmful objects should be banned. Let’s start with the kitchen, shall we? What about melon scoopers? Bulbous, balloon whisks? Gravy ladles? Turkey basters? I shudder to think that Satan might suggest sinful activities with these, but we know that he will try anything to attack the
believers of the
. I Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”.
A blessed day to you, my dear, Godly Sister.
Sincerely, Isabella W.
P.S. I should mention, dear Maxine, that I buy my plastic hangers at the local dollar store. Not only are they cheap and cheerful, but it makes me feel good that I am not contributing to the profits of any of those Homer Depot stores.
