Clay pots & earthly tents????


Things that make you go . . . hmmm??? Allow me to explain. Life goes by so fast & before you know it, miraculous things have happened to you & you just can't seem to recall any of them, but you know there were there. We thought that perhaps keeping a record of God's hand for all to see would serve as a fresh reminder each & every day of our purpose.

Isaiah 45:9 says, "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker, to him who is but a CLAY POT among the clay pots on the ground. Does the clay so to the Potter, 'What are you making?'"

Clay pots . . . that have no value until they are used. Clay pots . . . that have no business determining how they ought to be used. Clay pots . . . creations with a purpose.

II Corinthians 5:1 says, "Now we know that if the EARTHLY TENT we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."

Earthly tents . . . temporary dwellings. Earthly tents . . . temporary pain. Earthy tents . . . temporary sacrifice for an everlasting reward.

So . . . welcome to our blog!! Here we will record the life & times of the Dickinson Family: Jason, Christine, Caleigh, & Peyton. Oh, yeah, our dog Livvy & frequently forgotten fish Spot.

Neat stuff! So, I've stopped quarrleing with the Maker over what He is doing with my friends, the ClayPots and I am hoping I can find my way to where He moves their earthly tent. :-) Sharon
