Good morning – it is a cold wet morning here in southwest Michigan.
Last night, I had a great experience. We had something that needed to be fixed at our house that was beyond my very limited handyman capabilities, so we asked a young man to come over and fix the problem. It was a great time of talking with this young man as I fetched things or held things for him as he made the repair. When he was finished, I asked him about paying him and he said he wanted to trade out his work. What he wanted in exchange was some of my time once a month to be able to ask me questions and to just talk. I was humbled and then felt very old!
I was also impressed by this young man’s wisdom. He realized that he could not walk through this life on his own and was seeking several men to input into his life. For years, I have done the same and have recommended the same to others.
The question I have for you, is WHO are YOU investing into right now? What young man or woman are you influencing? Are you seeking and building relationships with younger people to help build this next generation of leaders?
While we continually need people investing into our lives, we also need to be very intentional about investing into others as well.
Be intentional this week and make a difference in a young person’s life.
