The Pencil  

  In the beginning, the Pencil Maker spoke to the pencil saying, "There are five things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be."

     'First:  You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand."
     "Second: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but this is required if you are to become a better pencil."

     "Third:  You have the ability to correct any mistakes you might make."
     "Fourth: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.”
     "Fifth: No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.  You must always leave a clear, legible mark no matter how difficult the situation."

     The pencil understood, promising to remember, and went into the box fully understanding its Maker's purpose.
     Everyone is like a pencil, created by the Maker for a unique and special purpose. You were made to do great things!

 

Blessings for the day and God Bless America!
