I’m feeling thankful for people who give their time and energy to make a difference in the lives of teens. I ran into a couple of these people this morning when I was picking up coffee. They are women who pastor young people in a couple of Friends churches in our area. They are two excellent examples of people who are doing work that will last far beyond their term of service and beyond their lifetime. Their influence on the teens they work with will be seen even in the next generation. Meaningful work if you have the stomach for it. It’s not something I could do, but I have a lot of respect for those who make it their ministry.
