"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin."-1 John 1:7
    
    "Cleanseth," says the text-not "shall cleanse." There are multitudes who think that as a dying hope they may look forward to pardon. Oh! how infinitely better to have cleansing now than to depend on the bare possibility of forgiveness when I come to die. Some imagine that a sense of pardon is an attainment only obtainable after many years of Christian experience. But forgiveness of sin is a present thing-a privilege for this day, a joy for this very hour. The moment a sinner trusts Jesus he is fully forgiven. The text, being written in the present tense, also indicates continuance; it was "cleanseth" yesterday, it is "cleanseth" to-day, it will be "cleanseth" tomorrow: it will be always so with you, Christian, until you cross the river; every hour you may come to this fountain, for it cleanseth still. Notice, likewise, the completeness of the cleansing, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin"-not only from sin, but "from all sin." Reader, I cannot tell you the exceeding sweetness of this word, but I pray God the Holy Ghost to give you a taste of it. Manifold are our sins against God. Whether the bill be little or great, the same receipt can discharge one as the other. The blood of Jesus Christ is as blessed and divine a payment for the transgressions of blaspheming Peter as for the shortcomings of loving John; our iniquity is gone, all gone at once, and all gone for ever. Blessed completeness! What a sweet theme to dwell upon as one gives himself to sleep.
    
    "Sins against a holy God;
    Sins against His righteous laws;
    Sins against His love, His blood;
    Sins against His name and cause;
    Sins immense as is the sea-
    From them all He cleanseth me."

apron project completed....and more

Wee!!!!!!!!!!!  Slow me down.  I'm so sorry that I've been neglecting this blog the last few weeks.  It is that time of the year...My mom came for a week visit which while here we had Thanksgiving/Christmas so there were lots of preparations that kept me busy.  We finally got her home by Amtrak on Tuesday early morning hours (6hrs late) then this morning was woke by the phone to a call that my sister's son was in bad car wreck and it wasn't sounding good.  They still say he isn't out of the clear til Sunday....lots of head injuries (you may view more details on this at my bother-in-laws blog here if you wish).  Anyway I think the merry-go-round needs to stop and let me off....

Just thought I'd post pictures of daughter's apron she made for her Grandma...
She started working on it for the Nov. FNS-i but didn't get it finished
you may view the beginning stages here if you missed it (part 1) (part 2)
now for part three....
