with a lady today
who was upset.
She feels like
the youth of today
have lost their manners.
She was quite opinionated
about how they have become
rude, and self-centered,
and disrespectful.
I have to disagree.
.
As a youth leader
for the teenage girls
ages 12-13 in my Church group,
I have to say that they are
some of the best yet.
They are good and kind
and aware of the
needs of the girls around them.
One of our girls
just lost her mother to cancer.
It's been a hard thing
for a long time.
But the other girls in our group
have rallied around her
and made her feel loved.
And then there's one of
the older girls, who
was in a gas station
with her mom one day.
Her mom gave her
some money to go inside
and buy some candy.
As she was waiting in line,
she noticed that a
handicapped young man
ahead of her was very upset
because he didn't have
enough money
to pay for his items.
This girl put her candy back,
and stepped up
to give her money to him.
She just said it made her
feel really good inside.

I know this world
has its challenges.
And there are lots
of troubled teens who
show their angst
in desperate behavior.
I've seen that too.
But I choose to believe
that there are many more
good kids than bad,
and these wonderful young people
are going to grow up
to really make a difference!

I hope you'll take a minute
to watch this video.
I don't know the girls in it,
but I'm so impressed.
Take a look, and you'll see what I mean!
