COT:
Doing a lot of traveling to visit my team at other sites, it validated to me that there is a lot more behind the scenes than our perceptions may have. We often jump to conclusions and need to remember to ask people questions and consider what you can do to help them. This plays out in our daily lives as we interact with coworkers, family, friends…but for me it’s my son. It’s hard not to judge the actions of a teenager but talking with him has brought out soo much that I would have improperly assumed otherwise. Be intentional to connect with people and not derive your own perception of other people actions and intentions.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10, and 11
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

This is a wisdom from Solomon. We need each other and everything is better when we do it together.
