Instructions To A Pencil
A pencil-maker told the pencil 5 important lessons just before putting it in the box:
1. Everything you do will make a mark.
2. You can 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
sharpened. May this parable 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.

By bringing in aluminum cans, $95
