While I was shopping for a gift, I encountered a beautiful plate store 
on the corner. I felt like I was in a museum attracted by the coziness 
of the shop. There were many dishes being displayed in harmony. Many 
styles of dishes were marked by a potter’s individuality. The dishes 
seemed to whisper in my ear with an imposing air. “Now, pick me up 
and use me as you need.” After looking at the sparkling clean dishes 
for a long time, I made up my mind saying, “I who am the work of the 
Lord who will wipe my sins away by the blood of Jesus and be faithful 
to my God given duty from the Lord.”
