Family of Faith at Faith and St. Andrew’s:
Grace and Peace! My neighbor cleans homes for a living, and once a month I have her come and clean my home. Every single time, when I come home after a cleaning, it is so refreshing, clean smelling (puppy, you know), and so neat looking! I love it. Yes, it takes an hour or so to “clean before the cleaning” and perhaps 15 minutes to get my things out of hiding! But it is so worth it.
It occurs to me that this is what God does for all of us, every moment of every day! Cleansed!! 2 Corinthians 5:11 says: “In Christ we are a new creation!” (Exclamation point mine!) We are cleansed, refreshed and made new every moment of every day. We don’t have to pick up, or straighten. It’s all God’s work in Christ, and we celebrate!
