[Side Note - The phrase 'jars of clay' sticks out to me mainly because of the band. My favorite band, in fact. They're celebrating 20 years this year.]
Our pastor talked about how we are all weak vessels, but that our contents are strong. That we are filled up and then are poured out upon others.
It made me think of some clay teapots that were over 400 years old. And the only way to maintain them was to continue to make tea in them. That without their continued use they would dry up, crack, and break.
Some days I feel like a dried up teapot. Or worse, just a lump of clay still waiting to be turned into a teapot or whatever God chooses to mold me into, but I digress.
My prayer for you and the staff this week is that you may all be jars of clay. That God will fill you up and that you may pour out on the children this week His love, His strength, His mercy, and His grace.
