“Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.” - Hebrews 13:7 (NLT)

Hey Lightgliders!
I have the distinct privilege of introducing our new series called “Ways to Shine.” In this series, we will talk about Role Models and the positive character qualities that they possess. A role model is someone you can look up to! He or she serves as an example for how to live, how to treat people, and how to grow in your faith. I can’t tell you how important it is to have good role models! One of my first role models ever was Marlon, who hangs out in the Academy Library. Marlon cares about me and shows me what it looks like to have faith in God. Who are some of your role models? It could be a parent, an older sibling, a teacher, a coach, or perhaps a leader in your church. I encourage you to find someone you look up to, watch how they live their lives, and ask them lots of questions. And remember to listen to their answers!
Glide On!
Santiago

• Read Hebrews 13:7 in the Bible. Name two people who have taught you about God. What did you learn from them?
• Who do you look up to?
• Who looks up to you?
• Who shows you how to walk with God?
• How can you be a role model for others?
Use your Lightgliders Journal to answer these questions!


Dream of ways to shine this week. Here are some suggestions!
• Be a helper at home! Try clearing the dinner table, helping a sibling with their homework, or feeding the family pet! When you do, you’re showing responsibility and kindness, just like a great role model would!
• Encourage a friend at school! Role models build others up with their words, so encourage someone that you see feeling down or left out!
• Role models are learners too! You can shine by asking thoughtful questions during Bible study at church, or even during class at school. Just like Marlon in the Academy library, great role models are curious and want to grow in their faith. So don’t be afraid to raise your hand and seek wisdom!
