Saving the Rising Generation.
I was once a youth, two years ago to be exact. I’m now 19 and I often think myself where did my youth years go? I attended the first TFY (Time for youth) when I was 14 years old. Through out my years of youth we were always told that we were the Chosen generation and that what we did now (back then) was significant for our future. In fact President Eyring who was Elder Eyring back then visited us and shared with us such a great message concerning our future and the choices we will one day make.
I’m sure you’re very familiar with the experince I am going to sure. All my teachers since I turned twelve emphasised the importance of us understanding the doctrine they were teaching and here it comes…”Because one day you will teach my children and I want nothing but the best for them” (something to that effect). I guess that was the best time to say “No pressure at all” but now that I think of it those years just blew with the wind. I have served as a Faith in God teacher and am now a secretary for Stake Primary presidency all of which are related to teaching children…
And as cliched as it sounds It’s so true. I end up teaching a few of my Teachers children. It’s amazing… I still don’t know how it came about but it truley shows the importance of keeping yourself worthy to fulfill the Lord’s work here on earth.
A time will come where we stand at the teachers spot and teach, and we will be resbonsible for Saving the Rising Generation… Just a thought I had in mind.
