Seven Things to Do with a Vintage Chamber Pot

It was either the largest cappuccino cup ever, or...a chamber pot. I spied it at one of my favorite little second-hand stores for a very good price. 

It was white, and it was from England. 
Should that count more than it's prior function? 
It was charming, if I didn't think about it.

I had second thoughts, but finally decided to bring this lovely yet disgusting thing home with me. 

Then, of course, I Googled. 
Have I mentioned how much I love Google?

Apparently, they're making a comeback with folks interested in sustainable living. Read more about the history of the Chamber Pot HERE.

So, here you have it:

Word for the Day:

Isaiah 64:8

But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Extra thoughts on this Word...

What purpose were we designed to serve? Are we doing that for which we were designed, or have we discovered a new purpose for ourselves? If so, is it God-ordained?

Even chamber pots have a valuable purpose - useful in effectively removing that which is not clean.

Some of us are useful in doing fine things - like heirloom fine china used only on special occasions. 

Others do the dirty work on a daily basis.  They may not be given honor for their hard work here on this earth. But one day, they will hear "Well done, good and faithful servant."
