Good Morning, God,
The headlines last week told about how Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dubois County has changed its name to "Mentore for Youth." The organization plans to continue matching children with adult men and women - the big brother, big sister - but now they will be called "mentors." Hopefully, these mentors will not only be friends, but also teachers of the things of life, helping their chosen youth along a good path.
Lord God, one of the reasons you created us all so differently from each other is that you want us to have different expereiences from each other. You want us to experience life in all its fullness. Lord, we really don't even want to think about what life would be like if we were all the same, all clones of each other with no vareity. How dull!
However, Lord, it would be nice if, in life with all its variety, we would have a common, ultimate goal. What if, God, all of us resolved to glorify and honor and enjoy you above all? What if we gave ourselves, our work, our relationships, and our materiality, all to honor you? God, it would definitely make our lives better.
Give us the wherewithal to honor you first and foremost in our lives.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
