CHAPTER 4, PAGE 29

Parable of the Pencil

Author Unknown

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. There are 5 things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.

And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart.

GOOD MORNING !

Today is the final day of my KITCHEN MAKEOVER.Hopefully by this afternoon we'll be finished !

It's been very chilly here at night and right now the furnace is running...the gas company is loving it !  Fuel bills are a very bad subject for me ! 

The thermostat is set way down and I've got my layers on.

***BIG SMILE***

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Barbara De Angelis

May your day be blessed with a few smiles and lots of sunshine to warm your heart !
