While I was shopping for a gift, I encountered a beautiful plate store on the corner. I felt like I was in a museum attracted by the coziness of the shop. There were many dishes being displayed in harmony. Many styles of dishes were marked by a potter’s individuality. The dishes seemed to whisper in my ear with an imposing air. “Now, pick me up and use me as you need.” After looking at the sparkling clean dishes for a long time, I made up my mind saying, “I who am the work of the Lord who will wipe my sins away by the blood of Jesus and be faithful to my God given duty from the Lord.”
