The bible tells us that we are "vessels", "earthen vessels". Yes we are made of earth (the dust of the earth) and God said we are vessels in which he wants to dwell...
"...in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour." 2 Timothy 2:20
"...we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." 2 Corinthians 4:7
If you are looking for a theme and message for your next inspirational ladies meeting, how about the topic of "Being and Building Vessels of Honor".
For scripture references and other thoughts on this topic please click HERE for my "Being and Building Vessels of Honor" post. I think you will come away with some very inspiring ideas and information with which to encourage your ladies in this area.
As with all ladies meetings, there must be decorations! For this theme, try finding a bunch of "earthen vessels" (clay pots) to use as centerpieces and such. You can find terracotta pots just about anywhere during the gardening season and they are relatively inexpensive. If money is really tight, ask the ladies to borrow things they may have around their house or garden.
We chose this theme for our last Mother/Daughter banquet. We used old fashioned bowl and pitcher sets as decorations which we borrowed from some of the ladies of the church and displayed them on the rungs of old ladders, as seen below.
Have fun and use your imagination! Most importantly, make sure your ladies come away with a message from the Lord about "Being and Building Vessels of Honor".
