The Cracked Pot
By: Author Unknown

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the
end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the
pots was perfectly made and never leaked. The other pot had
a crack in it and by the time the water bearer reached his
master’s house it had leaked much of it’s water and was only
half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer
delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his
master’s house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its
own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to
accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure,
it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. “I am
ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.”

“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”

“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only
half my load because this crack in my side causes water to
leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of
my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get
full value from your efforts,” the pot said.

The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in
his compassion he said, “As we return to the master’s house,
I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took
notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the
side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end
of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out
half its load, and so again the pot apologized to the bearer
for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were
flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other
pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your
flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on
your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from
the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been
able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s
table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not
have this beauty to grace his house.”

Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots.
Don’t be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them, and you too
can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we
find our strength.

Puppies for Sale
By: Author Unknown

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read
“Puppies For Sale.” Signs like that have a way of attracting
small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under
the store owner’s sign. “How much are you going to sell the
puppies for?” he asked.

The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”

The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some
change. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at
them?”

The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel
came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by
five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging
considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out
the lagging, limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that
little dog?”

The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined
the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip
socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame. The
little boy became excited. “That is the puppy that I want to
buy.”

The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little
dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”

The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the
store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, and said, “I don’t
want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every
bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price.
In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until
I have him paid for.”

The store owner countered, “You really don’t want to buy
this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and
jump and play with you like the other puppies.”

To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up
his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg
supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store
owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself,
and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”

Do you have someone who Understands!
