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 painful sharpening
from
time to time by going through various
problems in
life, but you'll need them to become a
stronger
person.
Three: You will be able to correct any
mistakes
you might make. Learn from it, and correct
them.
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.
Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage
you
to know that you are a special person and
only
you can fulfill the purpose to which you were
born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to
get
discouraged and think that your life is
insignificant
and cannot make a change.
You can and I know you will!
