Reminiscences of a Pencil

-
That's not a very good picture, but those are some of my pencils. I like little pencils as you can see.


My Pencil Stub


You dear faithful old friend,
With you I wrote a letter to send.
With you I wrote some Poetry.
With you I wrote a sweet story.

You are now old and worn
For many hours of school you’ve borne.
Together you and I will make history
Together we unfold a mystery.

I used you every fleeting day
If only to pass the hour away.
I used you tall; I used you short.
I used you to write my oral report.

 
With you I wrote of days long past.
With you I wrote what happened last.
I used you when you were just a stub
You are my friend; you are my bub.


Live for Jesus!
Love one another!
Laugh a lot!
Smile big! ☺

      Haha! That is funny! I think there is a chosen few of us who have been destined to love stubby pencils. ;)
      Glad you liked the poem. This is an old post and an old poem. ;) So hopefully I have improved somewhat on poetry writing. ;)
      Thanks for leaving a comment, by the way. It always makes me happy to have a recent comment on an old post. It assures me that people are still reading my old posts (which could be a bad thing. Haha! ).

      Have no fear, Hannah dear, your poems are exceptional all around. :) Along with your old posts as well, which I am discovering and exploring! It is fun to have people look at your old posts, I would imagine!

      Thanks, Lauren!
      It is fun to have people explore my old posts. It means my posts haven't totally disappeared off the face of the planet or something like that. ;)
      So enjoy and explore to your hearts content!
      And I love comments. ;)

Winnie the Pooh

I have a confession. Ok, not really a confession because just about everyone who actually knows me knows it and I am not ashamed of it, but.... I have an obsession, of sorts, with Winnie the Pooh! Yes, go ahead and laugh, but seriously, I kind of like him a lot (ok, not as much as Cowboys, but that is a different story). So my car has a little Winnie the Pooh hanging on the mirror and he basically is my friend that accompanies me on all my road trips and road adventures of getting lost (happens a lot). So, whether you like it or not this post is Winnie the Pooh quotes. I probably just scared away half my readers, but you know if you can't put up with my Winnie the Pooh obsession for just one day than that is really just too bad. Be thankful I did not decide to do a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers post instead. I would understand if you left me after that. That would be the testing of whether we are true friends or not, but this time I am just sticking with Winnie the Po...

Hidden Treasures From the Thrift Stores

I know it can be kind of discouraging for Christians girls, who really desire to dress modestly, to go shopping. Often times it is very hard to find something that is modest. Yet if you look hard enough, you can find the hidden treasures. One of my favorite places to buy clothes is at the thrift stores. That way I can get a good deal and there is also usually more of a variety. Therefore, today my mom, sister, and I went shopping and we're blessed to find two very nice (at least in my opinion), but also modest dresses. This is my dress. I am wearing a white t-shirt with it, because it only has straps. This is Priscilla's  dress. So my encouragement to ya'll girls out there trying to dress modestly: DON'T GIVE UP! There is modest clothing out there, it just might take a bit of searching. Also, don't forget to check out the thrift stores. That is where I find almost all of my clothes. People are all the time getting rid of their clothes that are in really...

Hello Everyone who reads this, I would like to know of some good Christian books to read, so I thought I would ask about it on my blog. Therefore, I have some Questions for you and here they are. 1. What is your favorite spiritual book that you have ever read? 2. What is your favorite fiction that you have ever read? 3. What is your favorite biography or true story that you have ever read? 4. What is your favorite missionary biography that you have ever read? 5. Who are your three favorite authors? I would love to hear your answers to these questions, and it doesn’t really have to be your “favorite ever read book” just one that you really liked. And now I shall attempt to answer the questions myself for anyone who may be interested. 1. Favorite spiritual book – Dug Down deep by Joshua Harris 2. Favorite fiction book – They Loved to Laugh by Katheryn Worth 3. Favorite biography – We Thought We Heard the Angels Sing by Lieutenant James C. Whittaker 4. Favorite missionary b...
