Let them imitate you giving thanks to God!  Thanking Him today for…

#469  when the only hide they know how to do is when they play hide and seek

#470  don’t tip toe around honesty and they say whatever is on their mind

#471  the gift of hearing fishing stories from special young man in my life that has been part of mine since he was a baby.

The teaching at church this weekend taught about the significance of younger and older people to have special Christ-led roles and relationships, in addition to one’s own children.   We can learn big things from the words and hearts of young people.

God, please use me to be a friend, an encourager, a listening ear, a mentor to some younger people in my life…where I can tell stories of lessons I’ve learned from making mistakes and how I was only able to overcome them by God’s grace.  I want to teach gratitude and God’s goodness and His never-failing love for His children.
