What If I?

What if I:

Cut down on the gift list? Minimize December chores? Wrap presents as I buy them? Buy cookies, not bake them?  Email cards?  Decorate less?  Use paper plates? Have finger food parties, or potlucks, not sit down dinners? Accept fewer invitations? Clean only the essentials?

If you still insist on a fine dining experience, here is a fast way to clean the silver.

1. Line the bottom of the sink with a long sheet of aluminum foil. Add several inches of hot water. Add 3 tablespoons of liquid fabric softener and 3 tablespoons of salt. Stir well.
2. Drop the silver into the water so it is completely covered with water. Silver will clean quickly. Dry with a soft cloth.

Wouldn’t it be great if our sin cleaned up as quickly as that?

Oh, wait! It does!

Prayer- Lord, thank you that when we confess our sins, you are faithful and just and forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (From 1 John 1:9) Amen.
