Knit One, Purl Two

A ball of yarn, knitting needles, and the woman who taught me to knit – for these I am giving thanks today.

I am reminded here that Scriptures admonish the older women to teach the younger women; however, in this case, it was a younger woman who taught me to knit. I am grateful.
When I start a new project or often when I just pick up the needles to continue on, I think of her and give thanks. 

The gift of teaching, the ability to teach, and the opportunity to teach, all are reasons to give thanks. 
And so I am today. 

Titus 2

The Fragrance of a Friend

and a treasured friend who didn’t just give me a bouquet from her garden but dug up a bush so we could replant it in our yard and enjoy the beauty and fragrance for perhaps years to come.

I am thankful.

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.  source 

There’s much more wisdom found at Proverbs 17 if you please. 

It’s a Flush

Indoor Plumbing

Yep. I am thankful for indoor plumbing and sewer systems.
You see I am old enough to remember life before our family had indoor plumbing. 
I say our family because indoor plumbing came to society long before it came to our house. For a bit of toilet history, click HERE.

Now. Because this is supposed to be a Christian Blog I am inclined to make a spiritual application here.
And it’s not as difficult as one might think. 

Refuse. Waste. 

Life without JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR is a waste. 
The unsaved may accomplish much; they may have the accolades of the world and they may give many dollars to benefit mankind but what do they have when their life is flushed – if they die without JESUS? 

Matthew 16 NKJV
 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Or
 
what will a man give in exchange for his soul? source

How about you? 
When your life here on this earth is finished, will your life just be a flush or will you be ushered into the very Face to face Presence of The LORD of GLORY?

2 Corinthians 5:8
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” source

Have questions?
Are you interested in Eternal Life? 
Are you convinced that YOU NEED A SAVIOR?
Because if you are said convinced, the Best News EVER is that JESUS is willing to save YOU.
