Wisdom from the dad



Me:  Dad I think that sometimes I try to help and change people.

Dad:  That's not a bad thing.

Me:  It is when I try to change them and want them to do things the way I do them.

Dad: Oh yeah that is not so good.  I don't think it is a bad thing that you try to point out where people can grow.  But that doesn't mean that they need to do it the way you do it.

Me: I guess I just need to realize that I am not the Potter, I am the clay.

Dad: Not always.

Me: What?

Dad: Sometimes you are the table.

Me: What does that even mean?

Dad: Just that sometimes God will use you so that He can mold people.
