Blessings

...Blessed in so many ways...

...We had fun visit recently with Great-Grandpa Richard and Grandma Aggie.... Not so long ago they were hospitalized at the same time; Grandma with a broken leg and Grandpa in a very grave, life-threatening condition. Both are doing well now. (To see Grandpa feeling good enough to be playing ball with Seth and Haddie was so wonderful!)

... Thankful for well-fed, tuckered out little munchkins...

....And the chance to be home with them each day...

The winter has been long, and the adjustment to our new setting hasn't always been easy, but I'm thankful we can be together! :o)

What's with the Title?

After much thought, we chose "Like Potter's Clay" because we think it describes our lives quite well. At times we have imagined the "perfect" life we think we should have, and we've been upset when things have not turned out that way. Slowly God has been teaching us and changing our hearts. (In Isaiah chapter 45, God asks,"Does the Clay say to the Potter, 'What are you making?'" He continues, "Do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?") We are learning to trust in His good plan for our lives, even when it doesn't look the way we originally thought it should. We are learning that even when we may be in a valley, or when things seem to have gone wrong, God can make good come of it and be glorified through it. ("In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28)
We are clay in the Potter's hands. And we're beginning to like it that way.
