Contagious

Seemingly, out of nowhere, it occurred to me last night, that whatever environment kids find themselves in, is contagious.

Positive, loving, respectful and happy...they will catch it and exhibit the same.

Negative, hateful, demeaning and unhappy...just as much contagious.

Easy to remember, not so easy to carry-out when life's responsibilities become stress-points of challenge and frustration. What's incredible is how quickly kids exhibit the characteristics of their environment. If you're not paying attention, you'll wake up one day wondering "how did this happen?". If you are paying attention, you'll find yourself wanting to make corrections if necessary, as quickly as possible

For this #youthPastorWednesday, pray for wisdom as they witness, first-hand, what takes place in the lives of kids and youth in their ministry. Pray for discernment as they impart the truth of God's Word into young lives. Pray for creativity, in being able to provide practical application of God's Word to their lives on a daily basis. Pray for insight as Pastors help parents in offering counsel and guidance in raising kids and teens who know will know and love God and long to live lives of purpose with eternity in mind, for the glory of God.
