A long time ago God had a great many burdens that He wished to have carried from one place to another on Earth. He asked the animals to lend a hand, but all of them had excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too proud; and so on...
Finally the birds came to God and said, "If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for you. We are small, but we would like to help."
So God fastened upon the back of each bird a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, not minding the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seemed to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were beautiful wings in their place. Wings that enabled them to fly to the tree tops and soar through the sky, closer and closer to God.
The burdens we carry for others, as well as ourselves, become wings of the spirit, lifting us to new places and bringing us closer and closer to God.
Isn't it wonderful that God never give up on and keep working and molding us for his glory and honor.
I am so glad he didn't throw the clay away and keeps molding us and making us into his likeness.
Jeremiah 18: The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
6 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.
Oh Praise our most high God. He is so awesome. Have a blessed Sunday. Love you, Shirley oxoxox

Good Morning, Happy Sunday. It is hot hot hot and extremely Humid! But I will not complain as winter is just around the bend. I am cleaning out my car today as I have traded in for another, deal to take place tommorow. I can't wait I will miss my Rosie she has been a very good car. But, it is time to make the move she has many miles and I need a car with less miles and more reliable as with high mileage you do not have that. I hope you have a great Sunday. Thank you for stopping by. Hugs, Pat
