Make us vessels of honor for You

Today we made salt clay for our devotion.  Well, and talked a little too.


Salt Clay:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water
2 T. oil

Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Slowly add water and oil. Mix until blended, but not sticky. If it's too dry, add more water by the tablespoons. Knead for 10 minutes. Bake at 250-300 degrees for 20-30 minutes.  Paint.

And while we kneaded and worked the mixture into a soft clay, we talked about Moses, and how God had to send him to the back side of the desert to mold him, and to make him into who He wanted him to be...The deliverer of his people.  We can be whatever God wants us to be, if we will give Him our lives, and let him knead us and shape us HIS way..not ours...

While we worked, we sang a little song that I wrote years ago, even before my children were born...when God was working so hard on me...and do you want to know something? He still is!!

~God is working on me
  working on me, working on me
  Holding me and changing me
  Molding me and making me
  Into what He wants me to be
  God is working on me~
