The Potter and the Clay

I took these photos at the crafts bazaar sometime back.This is called blue or chinhat pottery, unique to our state.Its made with a special clay, then glazed and painted.It is exported all over the world.

Look at the young man with his works of art. These objects of beauty were at one time on the potter 's wheel as clay-clay that yielded to the potter 's hand.

What happened? That lifeless clay was under the hand of the potter, and as the wheel of circumstance turned he molded and made them into vessels that stand on display.

We are like clay in the hands of the Master Potter.He can make us and shape us according to His will.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 8:4

And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter;so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it."

What Dr J Vernon McGee says is true,"I do not believe that life 's big decisions are made in a church sanctuary. I believe they are made out in the work-a-day world-in the office, in the school, in the workshop, at the crossroads of life-there is where the Potter is working with the clay. There is a place He is working with you my friend."

A few years ago I tried my hand at pottery in a hobby class in the school where I was teaching and I loved it. I made a few mis-shapen works of art and I photograph them and show them to you.

Its been raining constantly , we 've had no sun. its hard to dry clothes. I have a semi-automatic washing machine, maybe your grandma 's had them.Its twin tub with a washer and dryer.It doesn 't dry the clothes completely so you have to hang them out on the line.

The fully automatic machines use a lot of electricity, washing powder and water. So to save all that and to be environmentally friendly I use this kind.

Please pray for my Mama she is not well.Suffering from acidity and can 't hold down anything.I got her apple juice and cream crackers. She can have a little of that.
