Precious.<br /><br />And yes, such a great spiritual lesson in it, which you so eloquently wrote about. I'm sure I try God's patience - and yet, He continues to lovingly fashion this lumpy old piece of clay into something He can use. <br /><br />Yup, I totally want to be a "chip off His block"!!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-49716191113545374642011-11-01T19:35:58.795-07:002011-11-01T19:35:58.795-07:00Oh, Pamela, this brought tears.

In fact, I wrote a similar post a while ago (http://www.joroyal.com/2011/09/one-with-mistake.html) - about a mistake I made in a card design - and the development of thoughts from the realisation of the mistake. Totally reminded me that God doesn't throw us away when we are flawed - (just like the chipped mug!) Isn't that great :)<br />I loved reading this, thank you for sharing.<br />Jo<br />:)Jo Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660256915350483156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-77990749590965144152011-11-01T08:15:57.119-07:002011-11-01T08:15:57.119-07:00Sometimes the chipped ones are the best, as in the...Sometimes the chipped ones are the best, as in the case of this teacup. I have a small mug (about the size of a teacup) that has been cracked for a long time. It is still hanging together and for some reason it is my hubby's favorite mug to drink coffee from in the mornings. I even wash it in the dishwasher. It is still hanging together. It must be a tough mug. Kind of like some people. I love your analogy. Thank you for sharing.<br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-86588277797253230732011-10-31T12:38:56.814-07:002011-10-31T12:38:56.814-07:00This is beautiful.

I love that. I love this post! Isn't it beautiful and peace giving beyond description that it is the very imperfections others would reject that He places His loving hands around to heal, restore, redeem, refresh and then reveal His glory within us! I'm so grateful to Him for the way He loves all of me!<br />I hope your week was beautiful! xoA multi-dimensional lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182721376933664326noreply@blogger.com
