Cool Chèche

A Cool (summer weather, cool cotton/rayon) Shawl I crafted over the past two weeks!  It is a lovely pattern, easy to follow, available in the original French, and also an English translation.  The links may be found here on ravelry .

Big thank you to Katia64 for designing and sharing the pattern.

info on my version of the shawl is on ravelry as well

I was able to see someone very very special this week, that we had not seen for 12 years - I am so thankful to Almighty God for this wonderful blessing.  My heart is filled with love and joy, and though I miss this person so very terribly, these afflictions are so temporary, eternity is forever - which is why knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is more than a life or death question, it is a decision about where you have chosen to spend eternity....with Christ?...or with God's wrath....for eternity.

Please choose life in Christ! He and He alone paid for all your, my, the world's sins - 

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 john 5:11-13

Sands of Time

Passage of Time I by Riebart

The words of a favorite song are "The sands of time are sinking...", and though we usually do not like to acknowledge it, time passes.  There - another moment gone - every single moment is new, every single day is new...and will never ever pass this way again.

That fact can be either something joyous, or something depressing.....

but - with the ending of Passover for this year, let us be reminded that God delivered Israel from the bondage of Egypt - and while  Israel was redeemed and saved, the Egyptians and Pharaoh were judged.  There is no salvation nor redemption without Judgment...there is no love without Righteous Justice.

We will stand before God one day - whether you believe it or not, you will stand before Him - and receive eternal judgment unless, covered by the Passover Lamb's blood - the sinless blood of Jesus Christ - who lived the sinless, blameless life AND took our place on the cross receiving the full punishment and judgment for our sins, in our place. Died, and was resurrected in the flesh for our salvation.

It is a gift from God - we cannot earn it, nor buy it - just receive it - receive His salvation, in Jesus Christ.
