Dear God,

You are the great potter, the master who massages the clay to make beautiful things.  You work the clay until it is ready to be shaped and formed.  You tend to thin places that become holes or cracks.  You warm the clay until it is ready.  You tend to each piece, making it beautiful in its own time and place.  Then you place it in the heat to dry, strengthen and harden.  When taken out, it becomes useful, functioning and a sight to appreciate and enjoy.  You put your thumbprint on each piece.

So do you work the flesh, bone and sinew of human creatures.  You lovingly care for each tiny part.  You bring all things together to make life.  Again you place your mark on each one.  You name each person and call them Child.

Thank you
for agape love
that forms
each one
of us.
Thank you
for the beauty
you put inside.
Thank you
for making
your mark
upon us.

Love always, Andrea
