Thoguht for the Day 9/20/2012

A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life.

     It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster.

The treasure of our being in this world

            is also produced by an injured life.

If we had not been wounded,

if we had not been injured,

then we will not produce the pearl.

~ Stephan Hoeller

We have this treasure in jars of clay,

to show that the real power belongs to God and not to us.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed….

2 Corinthians 4:7-8
