Jump!!!! Imagine flying up in plane to an altitude of 5 thousand feet and being told to jump out! That alone for me would be a crisis…But imagine you do jump~and as you are rushing towards the earth you realize…uhh…you forgot the parachute back at the base!
Life is a matter of preparation. Children depend upon us as leaders, parents, mentors and role models to prepare them for the various phases of life. But there comes a time, whether by development or even by tragedy that it will be their responsibility to prepare for the nuances of life. One day they will be in the plane all alone… will they prepare ahead of time for the big jump. We need to teach our children how to pack their own parachute… they will have to pull the chord one day all by themselves.
The C.L.King group, in cooperation with churches, communities, schools, and parents aims to show this next generation of God’s children that they can take a leap of faith into the limitless skies of life. Next week I will be speaking to another wonderful group kids and presenting “The Choice Is Theirs”. Perhaps a kid will go home choosing not to be afraid of the heights or the speeds of life… they will begin to make preparation… for the day when they decide to JUMP!
