Hands on. . .

Isn't this weather wonderful?
Saturday, I went to the Memory Day and Craft Fair in Emmaus.
It is sponsored by the Friends of 1803 House.
There was good food, musicians, a balloon-shaping clown, face painters, lots of crafts for sale and
several artisans demonstrating their work.
One was Ivan, the blind potter.
You could watch him shape a pot on his wheel.
Some people put their hands on his to feel what he "saw" as the pot formed.

More thinking about seeing.
In the psalms and in the prophets, like Jeremiah, we read that God is compared to a master potter who holds us and molds us. God sees the best in us and pulls it out of us...if we are willing to rest in God's hands.

The 1803 House was built by a Revolutionary War soldier and shoemaker-- Jacob Ehrenhardt, Jr. It is located on South Keystone Aveue and is one of the oldest structures in the borough.
