We will not be here forever. Kind of a sobering thought, but a realistic one none-the-less. However, what we do with and where we spend our time will have lasting affects on generations to come. It will be one of the only things that we will leave behind. Our impact.
Let’s meditate on the verse 1 Peter 1:24-25 NIV, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.”
Lift up your mentor and mentee in prayer and encouragement as they enter into a new school year together. Pray the mentor will have the right words to say to their student; words that will have the greatest impact on their student’s life.
If you read our most recent blog article: “20 Reasons My Mentor is Great! Part 1,” you will hear all of the ways mentors can impact a child’s life from a child’s perspective. Many are simple and straightforward, “my mentor is nice, kind to me, cares about me.” Please pray that your mentor is able to share those attributes to their student so that their student will know they are loved, cared for, and special. So their student will know they are important and valued.
If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to hear from you!
In Him,
Elise
nt, teacher, coach, administrator, or student also in need of God’s renewal.
let’s not fall trap. Society challenges us to place expectations on ourselves that are not only unhealthy, but ungodly. We only need to view the latest social media post – a first place finish, a well dressed family, a handsome prom date, a good hair day – or even the smiling church group. People often spend their lives trying desperately to achieve perfection or please others only to burnout.
on those stale days!
