Pearls of Wisdom  
=============================================

A sculptor does not use a 'manicure set' to reduce the crude,

unshapely marble to a thing of beauty. The saw, the hammer

and the chisel are cruel tools, but without them the rough stone

must remain forever formless and unbeautiful.

To do His supreme work of grace within you, God will take from

your heart everything you love most. Everything you trust in will

go from you. Piles of ashes will lie where your most precious

treasures used to be!

— A. W. Tozer in the opening monologue of The Heart of Texas

I am trying to find a way to get the old greasy smell out of potholder

mitts. I have had some for several years, but the old greasy smell

never seems to come out in the laundry. Everything I can think

might work, might also destroy the fabric. 

 

I have one I would like to save, as it belonged to a grandma that

died 16 years ago. Does anyone know of a good way to preserve

the oven mitt once I get it clean. Thanks, Mildred

 

=======================================

 

Does anyone know where I can get a Sudsy Sue Dishwasher? 

These wonderful little kitchen helpers were popular 25 - 30 years

ago, and they seem to have disappeared from the market.  They

were put out by Anchor Brush Co., Inc,  Anno products Division

of Aurora Illinois.  I have searched the web, but I have had no

luck finding it.  The Sudsy Sue is  a slim plastic bottle (about

8 oz.)with a screw top that has a brush on the end.  About a

quarter inch of dishwashing detergent is put into the bottle first,

and then the bottle is filled with water.  This is one of the handiest

kitchen helpers I've ever had, and I would love to locate one again.

Daily Word by Pastor Jeff 
http://jjlministries.org
=============================================

"Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan,
and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days,
night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And
so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and
if I perish, I perish!" Esther 4:16

Preparation is the key to success. The more complicated the
task, the more preparation is needed. It takes very little preparation
for me to mow the yard. All I have to do is plug in the mower and
mow. It took more preparation for us to spend 3 days at a Christian
music festival. We had to get the tent, the sleeping bags, the air
mattress, the food, clothing. And this is just the big stuff! It took
hours to prepare for this short trip -- and then we forgot a few things!

Esther was getting ready to put on the performance of her life.
Everything depended upon what she did -- not just for herself,
but for all the Jews in all of captivity. Even though she was
queen, she knew she had to prepare. She dolled herself up.
She ordered special food to be made ready -- that means the
cooks had to get all the ingredients and tools to do Esther's
wishes. She cleaned her quarters. Her maids pressed her
best dress. But this was just the outward things.

Esther knew she had a lot of spiritual preparation to do as well --
and she could not do it alone. She asked all the local to fast
and pray with her and her maidens. This was all out war for
the welfare and lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews. After
the three days of spiritual warfare through fasting and prayer,
she was ready to walk in on the King -- something that was
very dangerous. If the King was not pleased -- she would
die immediately.

What preparation are you making for your life? No, I'm not talking
about the IRA and the kids college fund. I'm asking about the
spiritual battles you are facing -- or are soon to face. Do you
spend any time fasting? Praying? Studying the Word? If you
should come under spiritual attack today, would you have the
strength needed for the battle? Are you interceding for your kids'
spiritual lives, your grandkids? Do you spend time in prayer for
your Church services each week? Or do you just show
up on Sunday morning hoping that something good happens.
When is the last time you prayed and fasted for your community?
Your state? Your national government?

I'm afraid that most of us just stroll through life, taking it as it
comes, with little or no preparation. We wouldn't do our employer
that way, but we seem content to let our spiritual lives develop as
they may. And our spiritual lives are much more important than
our jobs -- jobs are temporary, life is eternal. How many jobs have
you had in the past 10 or 20 years? How many lives will you spend
in eternity? See what I mean? We take it for granted that we well
get to heaven, but we make little preparation to get us there.
Amen and Amen.

N-o-w may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus
from the dead,  that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the everlasting  covenant, make you complete in
every good work to do His will, working in  you what is well
pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be 
glory forever and ever. Amen.Hebrews 13:20-21 (NKJV)
