Thank you Mentors
The cat teaches the dog the value of mentoring:)
I dedicate this poem to all the awesome mentors in my life. Some are on permanent assignment in Heaven while others are still here. It is a blessing to know you. You are amazing! Thank you for helping in the shaping of who I am and am becoming, as I seek to grow closer to my Lord and His calling on my life.
Send an email to or call one of your mentors today. Give them the gift of your time and thankful heart for helping shape who you are.
Thank you Mentors
You are there to help show us how we can be a better me
Our gifts and talents to see
You are people of vision
Who help us in times of indecision
You are there to show us the right way when we get it so wrong
Guide us that when we are willing to show where we are weak
Then are we made strong
Leading us to learn what we need to know
Helping us to grow
In that smile
That thank you for a job well done
You show us life is not about wealth and fame
It’s not about playing the power game
It’s about having a light inside you darkness will never understand
It’s about holding a person”s hand
Showing them the way that leads to hope
The hope that is found in Christ the Light
The Love that is with us in the darkness of night
Thanks for being there
For your heart that does truly care
Thanks for teaching us to be the best me we can be
For drawing out of us what God has put there
Honing and shaping us as you lead us to share
The beauty of soul that is there
Whether we are in city near or country afar
This one thing we want to say
We hope we will be as supportive as you
That it would be said of us
We were mentors just like you
Showing others the way to grow
And helping others see
Their God-shaped destiny

Mind's Seat 
Very nice.
Thanks, Tony, for that encouraging thought. I noticed that you are now following my blog. I pray the thoughts I share will bring light, comfort and even greater joy into your life. It is God’s ministry of the heart to help people reach the stars of their potential with their Lord. I seek to inspire, encourage, challenge and uplift people in their life.
The first person I challenge in writing any piece is me. I often find myself breathing prayers like these. Lord, help me to convey Your Truth in the way that will reach all the souls you want it to. Father, grow in me a greater spirit of forgiveness for those who have misjudged me, who have said hurtful and cutting things to me. God of all comfort, let the words I write help mend broken hearts. Father, I’m really stuck today about what to write. Help me to write the piece You want, not the one I desire. Loving Heavenly Father, take away any hate, any anger in my spirit, so I can speak Your Truth in love. Father, help me to really know You and walk with You in a journey of love, trust and obedience. Give me a continual teachable spirit that never feels I have learned all I need to and understands how much yet I need to learn. Take away the imperfections in my character, so I will be more and more like Jesus and less and less like myself.
Tony, the Lord bless and keep you. The Lord make the face of His countenance to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord grant you His peace now and forevermore. Amen.
