~:[CH6 - Day 274]:~ Staying Sharp

I received a package yesterday. I opened it today and was surprised to receive these beauties. I've always liked to cook. When I was young, I would hang out in the kitchen and watch my parents cook and I think that overtime, I soaked it all in and cooking became second nature to me. I am nowhere near being a chef, but it's a nice skill to have to share with those around you. Today, I had a lot of time to reflect, as I caught up on work and got some things done. My to-do list was shortened and while I thought about many things today, the blessings of life were on my mind. The knives were beautiful, but it wasn't the knives that were amazing, but how each blade was crafted and the care that was put into the creation of each. I think each of us was created that way. We all have our shine, we all have our purpose, and while at times we may become dull, we will always have the opportunity to be restored to our former glory with the help of those around us. When we neglect what we need to do, often, we leave ourselves at risk of being ruined. As while many of us stray from the paths that we should be on, we should know that no matter how dull we get, there is always hope for restoration and for rebirth. We always have the chance for hope to be restored and our purpose to be revealed to us. There is plan for us all that He has prepared for us and my hope is that we all can realize it. When I opened up the box, I saw the shine of something so glorious, but no, it was not the knives that shined, but rather, something within me that reminded me that I am never alone. There is always someone looking over my shoulder, as He is making sure that his creation never goes dull. If you have faith, no matter where you feel like you are in life, restoration is always possible. Never forget that. Even when you think it's time for you to retire for an eternity, He will show you that you have a lot more to give to this world. My to-do list just got a bit longer.
