Welcome to our weekly blog link-up! Each week we gather to write for five minutes flat on a single writing prompt.

Today’s Five Minute Friday writing prompt is: POTENTIAL

Ready? GO. 

During our recent trip to South Africa, I had the opportunity to visit some dear friends with nine-month-old twin boys. As I sat on the couch in their house and watched the boys crawl around in their diapers, I couldn’t help but be amazed by the vast amount of potential bound up in their little bodies.

Who will they become? 

I see it in the power of a blank page. The potential to become.

The possibilities are endless.

It’s the potential of an unplayed piano, the potential of a pencil, of charcoal, of paint.

The potential of clay, of wood, a chisel, a hammer, and nails. Of bricks and cement. Of yarn or a needle and thread.

The potential to create. 

What power and privilege we possess by being made in the image of our Creator.

What a gift to be able to take advantage of the potential of a new day.

His mercies are new every morning. 

STOP.
