Cleaning With Salt??

by Mary Pereira





Cleaning With Salt??

The answer is a resounding YES!!!  If your Momma didn't tell you...give her a break. Maybe she didn't know. I will admit it, I am as surprised as you are. I have just always sprinkled Salt on my food and kept it handy to extinguish kitchen fires. My mother did not pass along this information either. There is so much about Salt that is intriguing and even beautiful too. So let's find out all about it shall we, Beloved?

Supernatural Salt

  The Great Salt Lake  


 The Great Salt Lake has very beautiful sunsets, ranging in hues of lavender as you can see, pinks, golds, crimson and blues you never thought existed. Basically the Great Salt Lake is a small Sea surrounded by land. The Salt in the Great Salt Lake allows you to float very easily.




The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is made up of 30% Salt. Obvisously you can float in the Dead Sea, plus it has Health Benefits. Many travel to Israel just to receive those miraculous healings. One of the most interesting sights to see is people covered in Dead Sea Salt Mud.




Dead Sea Salt Mud is a Treatment 



The Dead Sea beholds a Beauty with Salt like no other place in the world. I believe it is because of God's Supernatural hand primarily in the midst of  the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah








And then there is the Dead Sea Scrolls and the most recent findings 70 metal books found near a Jordan Cave is absolutely amazing even though it was not in the Dead Sea. There is just always something Supernatural about God and what He creates. And don't forget, God says Christians are the Salt of the Earth!!
