I made some chocolate cross lollipops for my grandaughters for Easter and was thinking about how the chocolate began as hard chips that would not have been transformed into the likeness of the cross until it had been heated and turned to liquid first. <BR/><BR/>God bless!Ediehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964143986155824534.post-6208790048022564532009-04-08T15:50:00.000-05:002009-04-08T15:50:00.000-05:00Oh- as soon as I saw the spotted turtle today I knew where you were going with it and it brought back memories for me too!<BR/><BR/>When I was just 8 years old - my older sister sat on the bed with me one night and told me about my heart. She said that it had lots of black sin spots on it from the bad things that I had done. Then she told me that Jesus' blood could wipe it all clean and make it white again! I didn't receive Christ until 7 years later---- but I never forgot that illustration and when the lightbulb finally did go on - it all made sense! Oh - how precious God is to "ready us" for His salvation! <BR/><BR/>Praise Him this Holy Week! And... I loved the verse you chose here!<BR/><BR/>Looking UPward and Choosing JOY,<BR/>Stephanie<BR/>[In Flight]<BR/><BR/>PS: I just left another feather on my blog [at the bottom] to share with YOU!TRUTHSHARERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964143986155824534.post-14747272189117497512009-04-08T00:10:00.000-05:002009-04-08T00:10:00.000-05:00Without blemish...powerful words.
