~ How A Pearl Is Made ~
A little grain of sand or a parasite gets into an oyster, mussel or clam shell.
As a defense, a fluid is used to coat the irritant.
Layer upon layer is deposited until a lovely lustrous pearl is formed.
Do you want a string of pearls of your very own?
Well, Dear Ones you surely can have a collection of single pearls.
"You can attain a pearl as often as you get victory over an irritation"
A true pearl is made out of a little thing that was not welcomed.
But as we all know life will send little irritations into your lives.
When these irritations come into our hearts or thoughts or home,
We must be quick about them and cover them with prayer!
This will be the layering of God's word and His love and grace...
When we look at a pearl we think, how lovely and light and
Yet how strong and durable, these pearls are.
I believe they are so strong because it was formed out of a
Unwanted particles that the clam just refused to be injured by it.
So it just kept covering it with the substance that would heal it!
A pearl is simply made by getting a victory over those irritations!
So every irritation that comes into our lives is
An opportunity for becoming a pearl.
The more irritations the devil flings at us,
Learning to cope and to overcome is so important!
That quote "don't sweat the small stuff"
You can do it the worlds way or you can do what truly
Brings victory...
Pray and walk away from what is pointless.
Some people just look for chances to rob us of our peace and joy
And our PEARLS...
