A little devotion type story

I normally do one post on my blog but today I decided to share a post that my aunt wrote.  Hi Everyone! My name is Angela, and I am Elizabeth's Aunt. I had a little incident that happened yesterday that also served as a reminder of Gods love. It all revolves around my picture! So I was about my business coloring as I often do, it is something I enjoy.Not noticing I was pushing my glass to the edge of my table.When out of the clear blue I was covered in Red Sparkling Ice water. It covered me from head to toe, but that wasn't all. It splattered all over the wall,table,and the worse.........a big stain on my carpet!! Having a disability this has not been my first run in with Red fluid and my carpet! We tried very hard to remove the stain but it was not going anywhere. I have been able to arrange furniture over the other spots,I still knew they were there but no one else could see. This spot however was right in the middle of my floor! Every time I would look at the stain it just made me sick! It ruined my whole night. Then I got a bright idea. I would bring a braided rug from the front room to cover up the stain. I would know its there but no one else would. Perfect,right? No, I know it is there and I will have to get new! That reminded me of all of us and how sin comes into our hearts and leaves stains. We are busy going about our business doing things we enjoy like my coloring. When sin comes closer and closer to us as my glass was going to the edge of the table but we DON'T SEE IT! Then out of nowhere he rears his ugly head and Splat! sin consumes us covering us with sin and leaves a stain on our hearts. Being hurt or embarrassed by our 'mistakes' we work hard trying to cover them up as I did with the rug. Well my friend God knows the stain is there and we can not hide it. Just as I was trying to do with my rug. I could cover it but I knew it was there. God sees it even when we try to hide it! But the beauty of it all is by simply asking for God's forgiveness and grace, with His blood he can wash us white as snow and there is no stain to serve as a reminder of our PAST! Sin had left a crimson stain,He washed it white as snow!    Now here is the photo to go along with this post today.  Well here is the photo and that is all I have for today because I don't have anything else to really say. So until next time, please enjoy reading today's posts.
