Knitting Kat

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

This very cold day (-9 degrees this morning) I will show you what I keep in one of my jewelry box drawers. A Luna moth...(the pale green one) that you don't see all that often. A locust...(that came in on a load of damp cloths from outside) and I dumped the whole armload in the dryer, never knowing I had a locust in the midst, and thus he was preserved for my jewelry box. Plus a Praying Mantis? I forget and its hard to see in the picture. I have a great enjoyment of God's creation if they do not scare or sting me. Long ago, the book 'Girl of the Limberlost' gave me an appreciation of nature that has diminished a bit over the years but not too much!

I'm off to have a peek at my Cranberry Cake in the oven....it must be almost done! My hubby & I will enjoy it so much with tea and coffee. The perfect day to bake a treat is this one. =)

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
