Oh boy did he make me laugh...

Lets take a trip down memory lane of a time when I sat in elementary school as a sixth grader and I watched my teacher Mr. Summer dazzle and amaze me as a student.   I don’t remember much of the subject he taught, what I do remember will give a glimpse as to what is my purpose for living in life is.

Question:  Who is your idol and why do you admire that person?

The answer may or may not be a famous person.  You might admire a colleagues giving, kindness, or thoughtfulness.  Or it could be someone really big like a Steve jobs, LeBron James, famous President, or you pick.  Take the comparisons to your self out, look at the characteristics, vision, ability to stay focused, humor, teacher, impacter, you name it.  Learn from that person , but be you.

I brought to you the image of Mr . Summer and let me tell you why.  As a child I was very impressionable and this teacher impressed me.  He impressed upon me the genuine nature of his care for the student.  I really felt cared for and looked forward to walking into his class every day.  Here is another thing that impressed me was his humor.  He was super funny and not awkward about it.  And the last thing that impressed me was how he communicated in teaching the lessons.  I really understood the lessons.  I cant fully recall today what subject we were learning al those years ago, but I do recall being focused , attentive and eager.

Every since those moments in life for me, I wanted to be a person that could do the same.  Impact lives with humor, teaching and care.  I saw the same qualities in my father when he pastored a church, he would “try” to be funny ..  hahahaha.  But he also would impact with his teachings and with care.

I share these things to give some direction and encouragement to take a step back and look into this part of your life to find out what direction you are heading or at least should be heading.  Your purpose is what that is your gift to the world and communities you are joined to.  Please take the steps of your course and walk them.
