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 remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.

 

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

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

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

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

And 5: 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 us in the pencil box; we should always remember these points and never forget, and we will become the best person we can be.

1: We will be able to do many great things, but only if we allow ourselves to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access us for the many gifts we possess.

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

3: We will be able to correct any mistakes we might make.

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

And 5: On every surface we walk through, we must leave our mark. No matter the situation, we must continue to do our duties.

May we pencils go on with our life on this earth with a new and meaningful purpose in our heart! -- Mike
