I realised this week that I have spent time with nearly 2 generations of young people.
On Saturday evening I drove a car load of S3-6 boys to sledging from my home church, it was great to part of their banter, stories and conversation, and it reminded me of all the years I have driven young people around Scotland and been a part of their lives even just for a short time.
On Sunday I ran in the 5k around Strathclyde park with my friend Lucy, later in the week someone asked us how we knew each other, Lucy answered "Jen was my youth leader" - and that was true, but now we are friends, and what a privilege to move from youth leader to friend!
And just last night I was making a powerpoint for a primary group to see what the Lanarkshire Weekend is all about and as I looked over the last 4 years of photos from that event - I was struck by the number of children and young people I have had the chance to get to know, care for, and to learn with.
A small contribution, but one I am so grateful to be a part of, as Shakespeare wrote "The powerful play goes on and you many contribute a verse!" - I've liked my verse so far!
