Sometimes it is the smallest pebble that can start an avalanche. I have decided to make one small commitment that I pray will yield numerous treasures in opportunity, change, and influence. I offer him wisdom through experience, comfort through love, tears, during pain, high-fives during success, and an example of faith in Christ. I don't plan on being his friend until he is older or until he's reached a certain point of his life. I will be there for him until the end.
Time is always ripe to make an impact.
It's a chain of people committing themselves to life and service, and it's a chain that is only as strong as it's weakest link. Therefore, I will grow within my beliefs while using my time and opportunities to help Chris grow. Although small, that pebble, as a relationship, holds the ability to become an avalanche.
