Comfort verses 24….mentoring…

 Comfort verses 24….mentoring….

The other day I had breakfast with a couple who are returning to the States to retire…they have spent all of their career life teaching, living, mentoring in another country…and they are free to   Let the next generation take over…their job is done in that area…they left the work in good hands with trusted friends and colleagues…what a good  feeling…passing the baton….

We all get to do that at some point…do we pass it well or do we hold on tight, reluctantly….

I thought of more comfort verses…as they came along…a way of mentoring….freely sharing passing them on….

Thank YOU….
