Youth Group Lessons-Fountain of Youth

" Is there a fountain of youth? Does it exist?"

Well i beleive that the fountain of youth exists but you will never find it in an earthly sense. Have i ever searched for the fountain of youth? Yes I have but not in the way where you have to travel worldwide searching for this fountain somewhere situated in a deep dark forest where you walk through dense bush and then suddenly find an opening that leads you to this beautiful golden water gushing fountain where if you just dip your hand in you will be transformed into...well never mind but i hope you get the picture.

Where have i found this Fountain of Youth. Well i will tell you where i found it. Why it is in Kaitaia, a town in the far north of New Zealand. Its all around us in the youth that are walking the streets to school, or sitting in Body Buzz every Wedsnesday ,sitting in groups in town when they are bored the fountains of youth are everywhere.

This fountain of youth i also found is within me. I began to remember that young person i was once and what youth group lesson that i would have liked to have been taught to me . I began to think like a youth and i started feeling invigorated ,i began to feel challenged it made me see the value that thinking about youth can have on you. I saw the changes that happen to a person when they start planning lessons for youth or planning family days with the youth in mind. The thing is that they started looking younger and more vibrant . They started looking like people you wanted to be around. They started attracting youth to them like a magnet.

My sister Carolyn Saulo is an example of this, don't get me wrong, she finds it hard and challenging but that fountain of youth in her just won't stop flowing. She will just keep looking vibrant and attracting goodness to herself because the fountain of youth is within her just as i have it within me . The fountain of youth is within all but not all find it.

The Youth Group Lesson i have found today is the value of having that vibrancy and feeling of being young imparted to me from our youthgroup FLAUNT STYLEZ.

They keep adding value to me so that it outflows back to them

Be Great, Be Successful
