Today my wife and I went shopping. Where did we go? To several large stores. At one of these stores the person who first offered to help us was someone I recognized! He was now a young man - a high school student. When I knew him, he was one of our many elementary school students. And, although I did no counseling with him at any time that I am aware of, I still remembered him and still felt the love for this young person that I have always felt toward the students in the school I was serving.
These kids are like additional sons and daughters for me. And although there are thousands of them, there are certain ones that somehow I still remember. When I see them as adolescents or adults, I remember what they looked like and acted like (at least to some extent) as kids. I am always amazed at the positive feelings I seem to have for them - regardless of what they were like when they were younger.
I am so thankful that this is the case. I would not want it any other way. I always want to be supportive to these kids, regardless of their ages and who they may have grown up to be.
Always remember, my friends, you are loved and appreciated by someone! Believe in your abilities and believe you are worthwhile to others!
