Today has been a wonderful day! It began with an early morning meeting with a friend who has been mentoring me for the last 13 years. Recently, my time with him has been less frequent, but whenever I am with him I learn and grow. Our meeting took place at my favorite local coffee house here in Lake Oswego. He was pouring into me.
After an hour and a half, he left, and one of my sons came by. He is 17, and is finishing up his senior year with some classes at our local community college. The purpose of our one on one time was to connect and take a look at his plan for the next quarter. It was an opportunity for me to listen to him and to connect at a deeper level. I was able to pour into him.
The reason I wanted to share with you about my morning is to challenge you to think about how you will spend your time this year.
Are you proactively scheduling one on one time with those you care for most?
We are so very grateful for the dynamics in our home. Our three teens are truly each other’s best friends, and they all run in one big pack of kids who range in age from 14 to 20. As a result, our house has become base camp for many of our kids’ friends.
