Aprons

Good morning world!  I want to chat about aprons today.  I wear dresses 99% of the time.  I love wearing aprons.  They protect my clothes and tops especially.  I have ruined more t-shirts and blouses when I cook.  A few years ago, I read an article about aprons and decided I wanted one.  But not the regular ones I have seen in the stores.  An old fashioned one that would cover my dress.  I had a friend's daughter make a couple for me.  I have several now.  And use one everyday.  Although it dawned on me last week, I can use a clean apron each day.  I have my favorites.  And I was just hanging them up and not washing them as often as I should.  Now I use one for the day and it goes into the laundry. 

When I was putting on my apron this morning, I started thinking about the blood of Jesus.  I was taught that because of His blood that covers us, when Jesus looks at us he sees us as white as snow.  We are clean.  We are forgiven.  My apron reminds me of this almost daily.  It keeps my clothes clean of stains.  Do I mess up?  Daily!  Am I still forgiven?  Definitely!  I have a sense of peace when I put on my apron because of this reminder.  Isn't God so good?

Today I have several irons in the fire.  I am planning the garden, deep cleaning the floors, working on paperwork in the office, and planning out my spring cleaning.  Oh and I need to get the recipies for the homemade stuff I made last week ready to post.  Have a great day all!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
