JAM UP!

Grandmother Bouterse and I would spend many Saturday's making Guava Jelly back in the 50's. Either with the big yellow guava's,or the smaller purple-ish kind.
We cooked and cooked......
We stirred and stirred.......
And then the fun began.....
She would hold the old heavy pot over a very fine straining net, and pour the guava concoction over into this. All the cooked guava's would pour right through, into another pot, while the impurities would be syphoned out into the net!
This is where I came in.......(hee hee)
I was to reach onto the net with some tongs,or a spoon, and pull out the yucky stuff. Grandmother said that this was the most important part of the whole process.(She might have been making her gradaughter feel important though.I don't know)
This was because you didn't want the impurities to get back in the good jelly or jam!
Jesus has done this for us too. He has given His life for us, and gotten rid of all our impurities,once and for all!
That way, we can bottle up all the good Christ gives us, as our finished product!
