Chicks to Chickens

Had the opportunity to speak to some younger people last week. It was an interesting experience. The most interesting part was seeing the children I had taught as a sunday school teacher many years back now organizing their own youth program. I had the opportunity to see them do the things we used to do, making appointments, getting speakers and following up to ensure a successful program, even some of these kids were out to the market to shop and organize food stuff for their peers.
Little A.J is now about to write his O' levels exams and asking questions on how to keep a good relationship with the opposite sex. Surprise is a very bad word for what I felt that afternoon, Overghasted is more like it. The encounter is a wake up call.

Life is moving and you had better be moving otherwise if you stay on a spot, the little chicks of yesterday will become chickens and you'll all be on the same level or worst still, you now have to look up to them as a source of inspiration instead of the other way around.
The question now is what am I doing today to equip me for the higher level, to make better and still a source of inspiration to my inspirees in future? Big question but a basic one.
Ask yourself same.
