"Yet remember...
it is not what the vessel is made of that gives it value...
but what it contains."

When we are filled with His Spirit,
we become renewed and changed from the inside out.
We hold within us

You such a beautiful treasure.

What lovely vessels to match those words of wisdom. My Katie would go crazy looking at all of that pottery! Happy Monday Maria!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
This so reminds me of one of my favorite passages of Scripture - 2 Corinthians 4:6-7...."the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ...THIS TREASURE in jars of clay"!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! And Paul says "we HAVE it"!
I ♥ this photo....I ♥ this thought.
Good morning my precious and beautiful friend.
ReplyDeleteI so loved your comment to me; it shows me that I am not alone in feeling the crunch from our ridiculous system that leaves both student and teacher stressed over SOMETHING (learning) that should be fun and yes, a BIT of a struggle, but for a GOOD OUTCOME. All this massive testing only results in exhaustion and more stress when scores are not optimum...oh, there is too much to figure out isn't there? I wish you peace and MORE PEACE as we both seek to be filled only with the spirit and then issue forth the fruit from thereof.
BIG HUGS, MARIA!
Anita
So true words.....happy week love Ria....xxx...
ReplyDeleteThough each vessel is different from the other, they can each contain something special.

Love this picture Maria and your words. I often feel like such a cracked and broken vessel, but the joy is when He fills me - He can use me.

To mold the clay of life is both a joy and a responsibility. Are you counting down the days, Maria?
