Influence


42 seconds

When you think back over your life, remember those good influences along the trail. 

Remember that one great teacher

Or boss
Or minister
Or youth club guy
Or …

Good influences come along rarely, and we need to remember them and cherish them.  And we owe it to others to become that good influence.

Quick story-
There once was a kid in my youth group.
Time passed.
Now, he is a minister in a large Midwestern church.   He once said to me:  “Of all the good influences in my life, you are number one.”

-A simple reminder of our responsibility in the moment

Walk a straight line.
Talk truth.
Live a trustworthy life.

Make good marks in the lives of others.

Leave a good influence.
