Hello ,

Every year, we have a show of items that are made in the Dakotas that comes to our area. There are dozens of venders, and my wife loves to look at their wares. 

We have a tradition. Every year we purchase one piece of pottery that a local artist produces. The attached photo is of her looking through the offerings of pottery ware. 

I am always fascinated by the way someone can take clay and turn it into something beautiful and functional. Reminds me of the following verse of scripture:

But now, O Lord, You are our Father,
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.

Isaiah 64:8

May we all remain pliable and moldable in our Creator's loving hands. 

Have a great day and God bless!
