Mitch Albom wrote the
book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven. His book was transformed into a movie of the
same name. In this book, Eddie, a war
veteran, feels that his life has been meaningless as he has spent his days in
the dull routine of repairing the rides at a seaside amusement park. However, when he arrives in heaven he meets
five people for whom he has had a profound impact. He also meets a large group of folks who he
affected less directly than the others.
Have you ever wondered what 5 people you might
meet in heaven—people for whom you have made a difference. Perhaps one of them will be your own mentor
and role model. While they certainly
impacted your life, you changed them as well.
Each of you recognized your own unique gifts and talents because of the
connection. We know that every young
person needs and deserves a positive role model and mentor. It is essential as we all struggle to
navigate a world that is yet to be determined.
We live in a time of ambiguity and a positive role model and mentor can
be the most essential part of staying grounded and on track.
Like Eddie in the
story, you might also meet a large number of people that you have impacted more
indirectly. While you might not be able
to be a mentor or role model for the youth directly, you can support the efforts
of those who work with youth daily. Your
financial support will help Entrusted Legacy provide training and coaching for
these dedicated youth workers. We need
you and the children need you. You can
make a difference in the life of a child.
