Though art the potter, I am the clay

Our Daily Bread
Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way!  Yes, God is the master potter than can take the broken down clay pot of my life and make is something beautiful.  Something not ordinary!  ;-)

I love that hymn!  It reminds us that turning the clay of your life over to God takes total commitment!  You can't hold back some extra pieces and stick them on later!  Those pieces won't hold up under the pottery furnace used to bake the clay pot into its hardened form.  The potter can then paint the pot and add a glaze to finish the work of art.  God wants to do that with our lives.  He wants to make us over if we will give him the clay of our life.  Total commitment.  We can trust God.  He has done this process with millions of people over the centuries!

Lord, help me turn over all the clay of my life to you.  Please make it into something beautiful in your sight.

Simply Saturday
I had a nice evening last night.  I renewed my drivers license.  I came home to do some cleaning and then watched a favorite DVD.  I also looked at the leaders guide for the class I am working on.

I have dinner group tomorrow night.  I am looking forward to that!  I have a new recipe to try!

Hang in there, my friends!  I will be upbeat and steady.  That is what I do....
