Just A Pencil? – You’ve Got To See This One From Mom – AMAZING!
|
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 and then allow yourself to be guided by the hand of God.

Now those must have taken some time to carve.
I know, right?! It took me a while to transfer all of the pictures over but it was well worth the effort don’t you think? Simply beautiful pictures and message. I loved it! Blessings, Terri
Discovered your pages thanks to Ermilia, will be back soon
Amazing photos.
Aurora, Thank you ever so much! Do you do the picture it & write too? I love it!! Thanks for the subscription as well
Blessings, Terri
WOW … this is a great post on many levels. The pix’s showcase a huge amount of patience. The parable a beautiful sentiment. It is so worth the long transfer process you had to endure. You must THANK , Mom … a gem of a person.
Blessings,
Isadora
Thanks Isadora! Yes it was worth the effort!! I could not help but show this one to all of you, it was just too amazingly cool. Yes , I will thank my mom today when I see her and yes, she is the best
I do love her dearly!!!! Blessings to you too, Terri
Yes and it also requires effort on our part to work together to keep ourselves sharp. For as iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)
Amen! It was an amazing e-mail – wasn’t it!! We need others, true friends and believers, to help us stay in the Sharpener’s hands and not jump out when He whittles us down to size at times
Peace, love and blessings, Terri
This was so encouraging. Thanks.
It is, isn’t it! And you are very welcome. Peace and blessings, Terri
I’d love to know this artist’s story. The creativity and talent embodied in this is amazing.
Me too!! It’s it fabulous? Can you imagine the patience and precision that required?! Not to mention the time, lol! Thanks for the comment. Blessings, Terri
Determination is a remarkable thing. Think how many times that sculptor was almost there and then slipped, and had to start over. Truly remarkable.
Hank, Could you imagine it? No way could I sit and do something like that, lol! Peace and blessings, Terri
Wow, that was amazing and very profound! Thank you!

Thanks so much for the comment! I truly is amazing, isn’t it? It is one of the most popular things that I have ever re-posted. I’m so happy that you found meaning in it and inspiration. Peace and belssings, Terri
This is amazing, talk about detail oriented!
Fabulous, isn’t it!! Never in a million years could I do that!!!! Peace and blessings…
Amazing talent.
Isn’t that something! I wonder how long it took them to do all those mini-sculptures and how many they broke in the process. Unbelievable gift!! Smiles and hugs, Terri
I’m surprised – that’s art!

I’ve mentioned you there …
I was amazing surprised when I opened that e-mail too
What a gift of talent that person has! Thanks for the mention too – I left you a comment there. Peace and blessings always, Terri
that is amazing
It really is something, isn’t it!
The proverbs at the end are very inspiring and are can be related to anyone’s life. Think of it, we are all pencils in God’s hands and he uses us to write the stories of our own lives. The closer you are to God the more you can negotiate with him about what he writes with you….
Very good, Steven, I loved your assessment!
The work is a credit in itself, but adding Getty Daltons name to his work is only right.
Thank you for that information!
Amazing!!
Wasn’t that just about one of the coolest things that you ever saw? I loved it so much that I just had to share it and saw the other day that it had been “stumbled” over 12K times!! That’s one way to get His message across
Blessings, Terri
Symbolic illustrations!
Great, aren’t they! Peace…
Excellent post
