Refined Repairs

It’s not always a silver lining sought
when the spirit of self is broken…
Much better for self 
is that gold refined touch
sent forth from the forges of heaven…
Ever humbled and grateful 
for the purity of His Love
Signed,
The Clay Pot

WELL HELLOOOO! :) Sure nice to see you back in the saddle. Hey Clay, whatta ya say, your spirit is revived. Absense does make the heart grow fonder. I'm so glad that you survived. :)
