THE POTTER AND THE CLAY

 

Do you know the story of the potter and the clay.   

The potter can take something that has no form and make it into something beautiful.  

There are many ways that we can be given the opportunity to be a potter in a life.  Rescue is one of them.  

Rescue is like getting the clay and being a part of changing it. 

Sometimes clay isn't ready to be used.  It has to have something added to it.  

In rescue, we take a dog who isn't complete.   Maybe it's a health issue, maybe it's emotional trauma.

Some just need a place to grow and find joy until they find a home.

Some have issues and need a place to heal.

Some need a hospice home.

Some need gentle hands, just like a potter's hands, to hold them and fight for them. 

Some are too broken to fix, but we can hold and love them, and they can be told how special they area.  

A potter's hand must be gentle, or the mold can be broken.  

In rescue, the foster parent must be gentle and trustworthy to mold them into healthier dogs.  To help them know there is good out there and that they deserve to be loved.  

 Foster parents can help a child to become better.  Medical doctors and nurses can be the potters who help bodies heal.  There are so many ways people can be called to be a potter in a specific way.  

  In rescue, we can take one who is emotionally or physically in need and be part of the molding and healing of their bodies, their trust, their hearts.   Thank you to all those who have been part of this.  You have made a difference.  You have been the potter who made something beautiful.  😌
