However, during the years we have left, let us live up to who Christ calls us to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084742033859465308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-43931487859945933362016-01-02T23:38:40.134-05:002016-01-02T23:38:40.134-05:00Young people are such an encouragement to me!

As I get older, that appreciation just increases, for they are the ones to take up the task to spread the good news. It may be different than how we thought it should be done, but that is good.<br />Ruth Smith Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471049305307500874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-24254849370232301732016-01-02T18:26:27.008-05:002016-01-02T18:26:27.008-05:00Thank you, friends for your kind words.

It was a privilege to be with these young people who are so passionate to make the world a better place and to see social justice, particularly for the oppressed.

It must have been quite a thrill to be at Urbana.<br />I identify with your insightful realization: "I am increasingly aware that my footprint is becoming smaller and that of those who follow me is growing larger." ~~+~~Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-1103117783845832172016-01-02T08:56:30.316-05:002016-01-02T08:56:30.316-05:00Well said, Eleanor.

Encouragement is our responsibility as believers. Too often we talk a good talk, but forget about exercising our words with the walk. Thank you for a brilliant beginning to our new year.
