When God speaks, he does so in all the different languages we can understand. Listening to him as he lovingly speaks these languages to us can shape us into better beings. Our ability to speak his language to others is a grace for which we need to be eternally grateful. Thank you everyone who have chosen to listen to and speak in Claylanguage.

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget
that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words,
but to live by them.
(John F. Kennedy)

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Saturday Sky

The sky on Saturday evening was wonderful. The sun was about to set, while white cottony clouds reached heaven. Hues of shiny silver and light gray painted the celestial blue sky, and my mouth opened in praise. The wide horizon filled my heart with hope as the depth of the sky lead my thoughts to God. The blend of shades seemed to invite me to come and see His glory as my heart experienced eternity. His infinite grace displayed bright colors of magnificent magenta that delighted my soul. Scenic stillness calmed my mind, anticipating His steadfast love that would linger through the dark night, and my gratitude faithfully reserved for this Sabbath.

Direction

Sometimes work seems so dull,
So I turn to my right
To catch a glimpse of Light ... दीप्ती|

Sometimes life seems to depress,
So I turn to my left
To find a friend in Happiness ... आनन्द|

Mother

"Your mother has my name." - Happy little girl

"She was born first. You have my mother's name." - Chronologically correct little boy

"I will tell your mother your name." - Little angry girl

"My mother knows my name." - Little naughty boy

"My mother knows my name; you tell my mother your name." - Little wise guy

"Your mother will not want to know my name." - Little wiser girl

As a child, I kept hearing such sentences whenever a boy's name had to reach his mother as part of a blame. Girls would always want to complain to the boy's mother even if we all knew that the boy had the strictest father, unforgiving uncle, intelligent grand father, wise grand uncle, bullying/brilliant brother, brawny neighbor, etc.

Why mother?
I think it's God's way of protecting a little naughty boy.
I feel the Girl thinks that the naughty boy should not grow up to be like the other men.
I know the Mother loves

the naughty boy!

Thank you mom for scolding, forgiving, teaching, and loving both your naughty boys.

Happy Mothers Day!

Wherefore

A few years ago, I had to make an important decision.
I had to decide whether I was making the right decision.
Awkward, you may say.
However, when one is about to switch careers deciding on a decision is also critical to the outcome.
After the interview, I met the CEO.
His T-shirt read: To BE or not to BE
It is strange how sometimes a message pops up somewhere silently.
Yes, the message was to BE then as much as it is now.
However, the place where the message had to be was on that T-shirt and not in an old dusty book.
I shook his hand only after I made the decision to BE.
Wherefore, I am.

(Wherefore is therefore and should not be confused with where.)

My Alma Mater

With grateful hearts,
We sing your praise
Dear school our joy and pride
Where we were schooled in virtuous ways
In duty, truth, and courage tried.

Come boys, let’s sing in jubilee
Our Alma Mater true
And while we sail life’s darksome seas
Our thoughts hark back to you.

With you our hearts are full of joy
And we are proud to be your boys!

Mysticism of Claylanguage

God as the Potter
Humans as clay
Planet Earth as the Potter’s wheel
A spiritual vessel as the Potter’s plan
The Potter knows the clay and chooses the clay as His own—Potter’s clay
The size, shape, and use of the vessel are as per the Potter’s plan
The clay submits to the Potter for a vessel has to be created
The clay is completely yielded and still to the molding of the Potter
The Potter has complete power over the clay
The clay is molded into a vessel of honor
The Potter molds a vessel to His pleasure as seems good to Him (Jeremiah 18:4)
God created us, and He continues to mold us in His image as we serve Him
The clay is always grateful to the Potter

Inspirational Friends

There are a few individuals I greatly admire.
Perhaps they do not know why.
In times when I have been in a quagmire,
These friends remind me I can fly.

Much thanks to you my inspirational friends!
