Coats and Forgiveness

The weather has gotten a bit chillier. The 4th graders have been good about wearing their coats...mittens are another story! Perhaps they like cold hands!

I had an extra winter coat. Actually, it was new last year...maybe the year before. But the arms were a little snug when I wore a sweater underneath. That made my arms cold while outside for recess duty. So, now I have a new winter coat...I look like a dark blue marshmallow. But the coat is warm and snugly! It's wind resistant, also. That really helped this past week with the edge of the hurricane winds.

The old coat went to "Coats for Kids." Giving a coat away to someone who needs it reminds me of what God did for us. We don't need coats...but we do need forgiveness. A gift that Jesus was willing to give, free of charge. Praise the LORD! He chose us to be His! Thank You, LORD!

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9

May God grant you and yours a blessed week.
