this was given out in school. I changed it a little~
...tHe PaRaBLe oF tHe PeNcIL...
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 rem 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 will need it to become a better pencil."
"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you 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.
Reflection
Now replacing the pencil with you. Always rem and neva forget and you'll become the best person you can be.
God is the Pencil Maker ya?
One: you will be able to do many things but only if you allow yourself to learn from others. Help other ppl enrich your life.
Two: you will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going thru various probelms in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you make. Learn from your mistakes and become a better and more lovable person. God forgives all mistakes!!
Four: the most impt part of you will always be wad is on the inside. ppl will grow old and their skin will wrinkle. Inner beauty is more impt and lasts longer than external looks. God looks @ the internal, not the external.
Five: on every surface you walk thru, you must leave your mark. No matter the situation, you muz continue to do your duties.
Allow this parable of the pencil to encourage you to know tt you are special and only YOU can fufill wad you were born to accomplish and do wad God wants you to do.. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think tt your life is insignificent and cannot make a change.
God luvs you~! let Him bless you wif this parable and i hope it is encouraging to all~
Life is so RANDOM.
