Title: Hey Don, Covered Your Favorite Verse
Post by: pixel on August 17, 2009, 02:44:31 PM
Ephesians 2:1-10 yesterday at church.
I knew that I had seen Ephesians 2:8-9 some where, just could not place it.  Last night while uploading for the monthly challenge I saw your signature and the light bulb went off.

Our church usually does things in series of 4 weeks or more and yesterday was the kick off for our latest series "Piece of Work".
We all received a little can of Play-Doh upon entry to the sanctuary.  At the end of the service we were asked to mold our play-doh into something we would strive to do a little better or more of.  I molded a big smile, looked a lot like a C but it was a big smile none the less.  I want/need to start doing things with a big smile instead of just doing.  I want all those around me to see there has been a change in my life since accepting Christ last year.  I want all those around me to want what I have!  I want them to step into eternity headed to heaven with me.

So, anyway your signature has a had an impact.  I wanted to share with you a couple of links;
First, here is the link to the message from yesterday

Second, if you want to follow along with the series you can do so here

Another link is to our pastors blog, where today he posted a little bit of sculpting that was made yesterday.

We are the clay and God is our potter, he is still working on us!
I am so truly blessed that we found this church and now call it home.

Enjoy,
Matt

Matt, thanks for this.

I'm so sorry that I missed it until now.  I'm doing a lot of travelling back and forth between Canada and Virginia and my time online has  been sadly shortened.

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your thoughts.

Matt, what a wonderful way to demonstrate the work of the Potter, using PlayDoh!  It is so true that He's not finished with us yet.

Thanks for posting those links.   :thumbsup:

Very true ... He's not finished with us yet!  But, like the clay/play doh, we must remain plyable so He can work with/on us!  I want to be clay in the Potter's hands ... plyable and easily molded to His will and plans.

Thanks, Matt, for the thoughts.   :)

Amen to that.

I know that HE is still molding and shaping me for HIS glory.

Until I rest in HIS arms; I will be spreading his words in my own quiet way.

Glad you could join us,Don, and please keep posting.

We all need each other to be refreshed in HIS word --who knows who HE will put in our pathways and why.

Yes, LORD, keep "molding us"

I SO agree - what a great way to inspire young and not-so-young to think of how (if we let Him) God is molding and making changes as He goes along, and making us vessels for His glory.

Thanks so much for posting the links, too, Pixel.
