And here I was waiting for something funny to learn from pencils - like "Get the lead out!"<br /><br />Truly, though - it was really wise. Yes, when God sharpens, it isn't always easy - but it always makes us better.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-41041021202056153522011-05-24T13:12:00.917-04:002011-05-24T13:12:00.917-04:00That is one good lesson!

I enjoy reading your amazing blog.<br />Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world, Sandie!!<br />I appreciate your kindness with me.<br />God's richest blessings may always abound in your live, and those you love, sweet Sandie!!<br />In God's Garden,<br />Poet Starry.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-78809530356183292612011-05-23T23:09:26.877-04:002011-05-23T23:09:26.877-04:00Hi Sandie, Neat thoughts....

Without God, we are truly nothing in this life...<br /><br />And yes---we need to be sharpened at times --when we get dull. <br /><br />Prayers go out to the people in Missouri --and other places, where the weather has caused so much devastation.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-51453852420965257902011-05-23T22:30:32.462-04:002011-05-23T22:30:32.462-04:00I love this!
