A clay pot was
thrown in the
ground because
it was old and
dirty. It was
considered to be
useless. The pot
had already
lived very happy
moments when it
was young and
pretty. Its
painting
attracted
everyone’s
attention.
It actually
passed through
the hands of
many people and
used all the
time. Therefore
now it is
considered to be
garbage and
thrown out! It
did not get
damaged because
it fell in the
middle of
|
 |
|
bushes. |
|
The old poor pot
complained about
his luck and the
lack of
gratitude from
men.
He missed to
have friendly
hands who looked
after him.
It was so hurt
because it was
not being used.
He wished to be
useful somehow!
Time went by,
and he was still
there, in the
ground. The rain
and the wind
would damage
him. The winter
came and it felt
so cold without
being able to
protect itself.
One day, a tiny
seed fall over
it. It came from
the wind which
was blowing
strongly. He
then said:
— Oh, my dear
friend pot, can
you please help
me?
Can I stay come
inside you?
The wind and the
cold air are
hurting me. I do
not have a place
to go!
The old pot was
so happy for
being useful
somehow, and
said kindly:
— With all my
pleasure, my
dear little
friend! Please
come into the
pot and stay as
long as you
like!
The little tiny
seed stayed
there, protected
from the cold
air quietly...
The pot did not
have anything
else to do and
decided to fall
sleep and wait
for the weather
to get better.
One day the pot
woke up and
noticed the
steps of someone
who approached
it. The pot also
heard an
exclamation:
 |
— What a
beautiful clay
pot!
He looked around
to see who they
were talking to,
but what a
surprise! They
were talking
about him! He
looked and then
realised it
became a
beautiful vase
of flowers!
The little tiny
seed it allowed
to stay inside
the pot actually
germinated.
Beautiful little
flowers
blossomed and
filled the air
with perfume.
The pot smiled
and felt really
proud of his new
occupation in
life. It felt so
useful now!

That’s what
happens to us in
life, my
friends. We will
always be able
to be useful
somewhere, for
something. When
we have a real
wish of helping
others, we will
be happier
because we will
be helped! |
Jesus, our
Master, will
always
recompensate us
for the good we
do to others.
He was the one
who said: “He
will render to
each one
according to his
works”.
