I am a quote nerd. I am simply one of those people that could just spend all day staring at a book full of quotes. When I go to Starbucks, the first thing I do is look at the quote on the side of my cup. I write down quotes during speeches. I visit quote websites. I know, I’m a nerd.
I’d just like to share a short little quote with you:
“The great use of life is to spend it for something which will outlast it.”
-William James
As you go into your Sunday morning, you may feel exhausted. You may feel like it’s more exhausting than it’s worth. But it’s not just about what you’re doing today. The work you do today is impacting these kids today, absolutely. Kids you touch today influence today. Those same kids also form the future. Who knows? Maybe that nerdy semi-socially secluded boy will know something that would be of use to you, and might just get a calling to minister to children. He might end up just like someone who happens to write a very good blog you read.
