Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.

As my thoughts go to a time in the early 70's when my dad had both legs amputated above the knee, I witnessed such great strength and courage from him. His deep faith and belief in a higher power shaped him into his new self.

He became a gardener extraordinaire and a weaver of baskets and trays. I can still hear his beautiful whistle as he worked.

Some going through such a horrific ordeal may have had the ‘poor me’ attitude, but this was not the case with my dad, from the very beginning he stayed positive and helped all around him stay cheery.

In this chapter of Isaiah God truly re made this piece of pottery into a man of inspiration to us all!

Prayer: Loving God give strength and courage to all who are facing or have faced difficult changes in their life. Amen
