Years ago I was taught to greet everyone the same and whole heartedly no matter who they were or what they looked like. It’s a way not to show favor to certain people above others, and it’s a blessing to see how it lifts people up—I know how it affects me when I’m greeted the same way.

There’s a little boy that comes in to where I work during school breaks—he’s eight years old now. He looks forward to my greetings because I genuinely enjoy seeing him. He sadly told me last week that his parents said he was crazy. Knowing how kids think and act at home, I wanted to encourage him without dishonoring his parents. I told him that since I knew him when he was six, I never thought he was crazy but normal like other kids. That simple greeting and statement made his day.
I watched the movie “The Forge” with my wife Friday. It was about how young men need mentoring by older men, to lead them toward manhood and to truly change their lives by leading them to Christ—that’s where true change takes place. As men, we need to get out of our comfort zones and mentor and love these young and little guys, who are craving attention and a life of character. If we don’t, the world will shape their character, and ultimately destroy their lives both physically and spiritually—Life is Short, but Eternity is Forever—we need to live that truth out every day. 🙂
Happy Sunday James Goodrich!
