What is God Doing With Your Pencil?

Mother Theresa has been quoted as saying "We are all little pencils in the hand of God" which begets the question "What is God communicating with your pencil"?

We have been attending a growing church for fifteen years and are now weeks away from moving into our own facility. We've grown from being known as the "Chips and Salsa Church" (because we were located in a strip mall next to a mexican restaurant) to the "Liquor Store Church" (you guessed it--we relocated to a bigger facility in another strip mall this time next to a liquor store). Now,the season is upon us when we will move onto our own parcel of lay moms how to pray all day and still put the laundry away CNN John Blake Tracy Klehn article busy mom busy moms, Mother Theresa quote "we are all pencils in the hand of God" Revelations 5:9 christian perspective easter, Tracy Klehn, nd.

This past Sunday the congregation was invited to come and "sign the floor" before the carpet is installed. It was quite a sight to see...hundreds of people of all ages writing on the floor and, as I walked around and looked at the writing I was deeply moved as I trust you will be as well...



As Easter quickly approaches and we reflect on the fact that Jesus voluntarily chose to spill his blood and in doing so purchase us for God (Revelations 5:9) I encourage you to reflect on what you are being used by God to communicate to the World through your life? I encourage you to talk to your children about this concept as well remembering what the beautiful Mother Theresa said...

"I am a little pencil in the hand of God who is sending a love letter to the world."
Mother Theresa

Blessings to you,

Our church did this same thing. Scripture is written on the concrete -- so we STAND on the word of God every time we step into the building.

What a blessing it is to know this.

May God bless you

I'm so glad others are finding these "pencil prints" as encouraging as I did! Thanks for taking the time to write to me! Have a "Magnificent" Easter!
