Invest in the youth of today!

These days it seems like certain skills are becoming lost to this techno world.  Also everything has to have instant gratification. Our kids are losing the ability to work for something. It's showing in today's culture the lack of pride or need to work for anything these days. You can do nothing and get everything. I just don't understand.

This has made me more determined to invest in youth that are going out and learning new skills. 

We started with my daughters piano teacher. She's amazing ! She was homeschooled and started teaching kids lessons. I think she is 18 years old and has paid for her own car.  I pray that Jellybean continues and maybe one day she can teach others to play. She can work from home, have her own schedule, and love doing her job.

Today a few moms invested in each others lives .  A friends younger daughter has been learning  to sew. I think this is wonderful. She can make so many items. I decided to ask if she would teach Jellybean. 

Today we had our first class! She was able to teach 3 little ones how to use a sewing machine and how to make a tooth brush holder with towels.

Jellybean had a wonderful time and how cute is this? She even said she wanted to make some as gifts.  This is what I'm talking about. We need to encourage these girls to learn new skills, to show them what work is and the value of it. 

I pray these skills stick with the girls. That they grow up and teach others the skills they have learned. That they can bless others with handmade gifts.
