1) The sixth Sunday of Lent is Palm Sunday. It marks the beginning of Holy Week.
2) In the Middle Ages, meat, eggs, and dairy products were forbidden during Lent. (If I could not eat those three things for 40 days, I would need to hire a chef to teach me what else to eat...I eat dairy products on a daily basis!!!).
Today I am donating this white long sleeve top. It was one of my favorites because it is a classy white collared shirt with a cute sash around that ties in the back. And, I was able to keep it white every time I wore it. I may have spilled, but I was always able to get the stain out.
This white blouse made me think of Isaiah 1:18,“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." With my past, it is overwhelming to think of my sins being washed as clean as this blouse. I feel like I could scrub and scrub my sins, but they would always look like the snow in March (dirty and gross). But then I remember that it is not me that does the washing. God sacrificed his son to wash away my sins. What an amazing love story! He gave up his greatest possession for a sinner, like me. Thank you God for sending your son to die on the cross so that my sins will be washed whiter than snow. I am so blessed! I am giving it up because God has washed me whiter than snow.
