WOYWW: Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Wednesday's come around again

and so here's a portion of my desk.

You can just imagine the rest of it! 

Everything crammed in and

more on the floor!

On my journal:

2 Corinthians 4:7

"But we hold this TREASURE in earthen vessels,

that the surpassing power may be of God

and not from us."

Yesterday, I drew Rahab, the prostitute

whose life was touched by God.

She is one woman among many men

listed in Jesus' genealogy.

We are all earthen vessels,

weak, easily broken, 

like Rahab, prone to sin.

But God in His infinite compassion and love,

can redeem us with His power,

gift us with grace every day,

so that we might live victoriously! 

In Ephesians 3:20, one of my favorite verses,

we read that God is able to do 

immeasurably more 

than we can ask or imagine

according to HIS POWER 

THAT IS AT WORK

WITHIN US!!

These are ATCs I received in an amusing swap

themed "My Body is a Cage."

I guess we can say that there's a similarity:

earthen vessels= cage?

And here's an envelope from Ksenia in Ireland.

I'm working on it to send back to her.

I joined her Mail Art swap.

I truly appreciate your visits and comments.

Although I try my best to return your visits,

between family life, work and commitments

to my Christian community,

it's just not possible! 

As a thank you to all of you wonderful people 

who take the time and effort to leave a comment,

I pick one of you every week to receive an ATC

from me or a postcard of one of my paintings.

The RNG picked Jennifer Carter on Monday morning.

And she chose a postcard of my canvas.

Joining the lovely Julia for a 

peek at desks and projects!

 

I love blog parties!

Won't you join us?
