Sunday Words of Encouragement June 6, 2021

We attended services online again this morning. Our church was celebrating five high school graduates. Pastor and our youth pastor shared some thoughts:
We stand by to support these young men and women.
Be an example to all the believers. Be a Leader!
It is time to mentor others; share your experiences.

Unfortunately the video cut off short again.

I chose some graduation quotes to add:

Neil Gaiman
Now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for you being here. Make good art.

Denzel Washington
Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You've got to take risks.

Kerry Washington
Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.

JK Rowling
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.

Nora Roberts
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.

Dr. Seuss
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

Louisa May Alcott
Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors.

I found this song to encourage young (and old) followers:

A Verse for Today:
1 Timothy 4:12 NIV
12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

Lord, I pray that I would take this encouragement to heart today.
