Hello Friends! Mighty Marvelous is our God, Monday! I am a little late getting around today, been good and busy and I like that! Anyway, I did have a thought I wanted to share (thanks to something a friend said). Lots of you know that my sweetie had surgery on Thursday (just in case you missed me that’s where I have been); bless his heart he had his sinuses “roto rootered”. Poor guy has had a sinus infection practically nonstop for the past year. After just a couple of visits to the specialist and a cat scan they decided he had to be cleaned out and last Thursday was the day…..He made it through surgery well and while we were in the recovery room his doctor came to talk to me. He told me he could not believe (now don’t get too grossed out) what they pulled out of his right side! He said, “It was really gross! He was completely blocked.” Well, since I got him home I have been quite busy tending to him and all the critters so I had not had a lot of time to think about what the doctor said until last night when a friend called to check on him. She said I think there has to be a message in all that snot!!!!! We all had a good laugh, said goodbye and I went about evening chores, but I kept having a nagging thought… what message could there be in all that gross, nasty, disgusting, gross, yucky snot they pulled out of Kim’s sinuses???? Somewhere between gathering eggs and feeding the donkeys I got the familiar tap. “Hi Father” I said, “thanks for this awesome weather, what can I do for you….” “Kathie,” He said, “Kathie, My child…..you have been wondering about Kim’s gross snot….Remember when you came to me this morning and were feeling so awful about something you had done……Remember how you told me you were sorry and asked for My forgiveness?” Yes Father, I remember and thank you, but what does that have to do with Kim’s snot?” “Kathie, I pulled that sin right from you….and remember it no more! And no matter what gross thing you may have done, I forgive you….there is nothing absolutely nothing that is too gross for Me…….I love you, I will take care of you, carry your burdens….forgive your sins both now and always! Oh Father…..by Your grace I am saved…..thank you Father……And thank you for taking care of my sweetie too! To You be all glory!

I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12. “Com now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him. Romans 4:7-8. For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Psalm 25:11.

Love you all!
