  Hey guys I’m back again, this week I’m going to talk to you about people watching what you do.  Ok so here at school I have the opportunity to become an intern youth pastor.  With that in mind, working around kids all the time, they tend to pick up on what you do.  They make you become real 24/7 and you can’t really hind anything around them because they are so genuine and the can tell a truth from a lie.  But honestly they even pick-up on the slightest little things.  To the way you walk to the way you tie your shoes, it’s amazing.  So it was today after Sunday Service I took a couple of kids to eat together since it was our first Sunday back from Winterfest.  Around the table a few kids were sharing testimonies.  And as they were talking one of the students said “David I know you didn’t get to spend a lot of time with us at Winterfest, but we enjoyed the little time we did get to spend with you.  But the most touching part about the whole weekend was how you served even though you didn’t want to.”  I began to wonder what they were talking about.  “I saw when that man kept asking you to sweep the same spot of the room over and over again.” Some people that speak and teach about serving don’t always show it.  For some reason it’s different with you, I could tell that you didn’t want to do it but you did and you did it with a smile.  It makes us as youth respect and appreciate you much more.”  That statement meant more to me than you could ever imagine.  So the lesson is doing what is right all the time because you never know who could be watching at any given moment.
