Just Old Pencils

JUST PENCILS! 
BE SURE TO READ THE PARABLE AT THE END!!!

A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE
                      PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE
                      BOX:

1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A
                      MARK.

2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES YOU
                      MAKE.

3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF
                      YOU.

4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL
                      SHARPENINGS, WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.

5.)
                      TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HELD
                      AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS
                      YOU. 
We all need to be constantly
                      sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you
                      are a special person, with unique God-given talents and
                      abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were
                      born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get
                      discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and
                      cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most
                      important part of who you are, is what's inside of
                      you.
