Gentle Mentoring Day 104
Caring, both for the weak and for one another, bonds the members of the Household Body together. Mentoring is where your resources in Christ become the other person's resources. We all have mentors in our lives whether we realize it or not. Barnabas mentored Paul. Paul mentored Timothy and so on.
As a child in the early fifties, I remember two spinsters, Miss Church and Miss Butt, collecting insurance money every week from my mum and dad. They gently encouraged me, my brother and sister into a schoolhouse Sunday school and planted the seeds of my later commitment to Christ.
Another of my mentors as a teenager was George Hoffman. George was a scout leader and prompted me to take part in church and scout activities, though my family was barely able to afford it. On one occasion, George even gave me a pair of hiking socks because he cared. Hiking socks still remind me of the gentle mentoring of that great man of God.
