FINDING GOOD IN IMPERFECTION, GOD MADE US ALL GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL. The old farmer who lived far from the water source had two pots, one of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. The old woman smiled, Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pots side? Thats because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house. Each of us has our own unique flaw.. People may look at you as useless, nobody , poor e,t, c but God has a purpose for your life, your flaws has a purpose so dont be ashamed of it. But its the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. Youve just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. To all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers, on your side of the path. Take the time to absorb this inspirational story. God loves you all stay blessed.
