Chosen Vessels

Good day to everyone! :)  So the other evening (Thursday, I think), it rained and a fterwards the flowers in the yard (with drops of rain on them, none the less!) were so absolutely gorgeous that I had  to take a few pictures....Okay, okay, so I took alot  of pictures. But how could I resist? God made this beautiful creation and I think He wants us to enjoy it and appreciate it! ;)  The Rose of Sharon in our front yard.  Rose of Sharon blossoms Daisy Daisies Ferns More ferns (you can see my foot in this one, if you know where to look...hehe.)  Lily, I think... ;)  Purple flower that I don't know the name of.  Phlox among the hostas.  Beautiful phlox Phlox Yellow flowers!  Just so y'all know, I'm going camping this week (Sunday-Saturday) with friends and I won't be able to respond to comments or anything until we get back. :)  Until next week!  -Faith =)

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.        --Jeremiah 18:6 KJV But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.         --Isaiah 64:8 KJV  I came across this picture a few weeks back and I thought it would make a great blog post. But I'd forgotten about it. Then last night I was trying to get a post typed up so I could post it first thing this morning, but I couldnt decide what I wanted to do it on. Earlier this morning I found this and I was like "The Clay and The Potter! Of course!" So, this is going to be in two parts. One this week and the other next Monday. :)  I'm going to start with the writing on the picture and y'all are also going to get a crash course in pottery.

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there,  Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave... ...
