Message in a Mason

Message in a Mason. What on earth does that mean, you ask? Well, I have partnered with Deep South Pout here in Starkville to sell these out of their store. These mason jars are adorable for flowers or various other things. After making them, I place a "message" in the jar. It is a Bible verse. Never know who needs to hear the Gospel.
If you haven't shopped at Deep South Pout, I highly recommend it. The store is adorable and has very reasonably priced clothes, shoes, and jewelry. You can always find something maroon for a State game :)

God has no hands but ours!

The popular story says that following World War II some German students volunteered to help rebuild a cathedral in England, one that had been badly damaged by the Luftwaffe bombings. As the work progressed, they weren't sure how to best restore a large statue of Jesus with has arms outstretched and bearing the familiar inscription, "Come unto Me."

They were able to repair all the damage to the statue except for Christ's hands which had been completely destroyed. Should they even attempt to rebuild these?

Finally, the workers reached a decision that still stands today. They decided to leave the hands off and changed the inscription to read: "Christ has no hands but ours."
