The Teacup!! - Smile
The Teacup
There was a couple
who used to go to shop in the beautiful stores.. They both liked
antiques and pottery and especially teacups. One day in this
beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, "May we
see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful." As the lady
handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke.
"You don't
understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup.
There was a time when I was red and I was clay." My master took
me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "let
me alone", but he only smiled, "Not yet."
"Then
I was placed on a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and
suddenly I was spun around and around and around. Stop it! I'm
getting dizzy!" I screamed. But the master only nodded and said,
'Not yet."
Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such
heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked
at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his
lips as He shook his head, "Not yet."
Finally the
door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. "There,
that's better," I said. And he brushed and painted me all over.
The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. "Stop it, stop
it!" I cried. He only nodded, "Not yet."
Then
suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This
was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I
screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening
nodding his head saying, "Not yet."
Then I knew
there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up.
But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf.
One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at
yourself." And I did. I said, "That's not me; that couldn't
be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful."
"I want you
to remember," then, he said, "I know it hurts to be rolled
and patted, but if I had left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know
it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped,
you would have crumbled.
I knew it hurt and was hot and
disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would
have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted
you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have
hardened; you would not have had any color in your life.
And
if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive
for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a
finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with
you."
God knows what He's doing (for all of
us).He is the Potter, and we are His clay.
He will mold us and
make us, So that we may be made into a flawless piece of work To
fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will
