HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE from Amelia’s Aprons to you….We pray that you will have a safe and happy new years eve. May the Lord richly bless you in the upcoming new year. I hope that everyone will take some time to reflect on the goodness of the Lord tonight and remember to be grateful and thankful for His providence over our lives. Many have suffered loss both familial and financial and destruction of property due to extreme weather. Whatever your hard times may have been this past year I would encourage you to find the good in every situation and praise the Lord that you are here tonight. For we know not what tomorrow brings, but we do know that God is with us. Forgive one another, Love one another for tomorrow is a brand new year. Micah 6:8 says….what does the Lord require of me? To do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly before our God. May we all remember that as we start our new year.

I resolve this new years to be a better blogger, create a few new products, and offer you the best customer service that is humanly possible.

Blessings to all my faithful customers. May 2011 bring you many triumphs and great joy.
