Message on a pen

A box of brightly coloured pens turned up in the office recently with just a note from our doughty senior Friend Leslie Fuhrmann.

The pens are wreathed in smiles and carry one of Leslie’s neat verses: Our lives are measured not just in days and years or pounds, dollars, euros but by the difference we make as links in the chain of God's love.

That's a lot to get on a pen but Leslie has managed it. He had the idea of the message in a dream, he tells us, and he had 400 pens produced which he gives out to people he meets who are helpful.
