Influences…
When I think about the influences in my life, I must thank God that the right people, where in the right place at the right time.
Let me put it this way, there were many family members I could list that were influential in my development. But there were MANY more outside that formed and guided me.
You were there when:
A child needed a dad.
A child needed a coach.
A child needed a spiritual leader.
A child needed humbling.
A child needed uplifting.
A child needed someone to listen.
A child needed someone to love them.
A child needed someone to say “yes you can”.
This is just a small list of the qualities of the influences that I had in my life. I could add many more.
The point is…YOU are an INFLUENCE to SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE.
Make sure that YOU are the INFLUENCE that SOMEONE needs!
By the way, THANK YOU for INFLUENCING my life for the Lord!
