COT:
Nothing profound today but I was thinking about what Slappy said on Wednesday. What does it mean to be a friend?

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭24‬-‭25‬

Notice the action words here. Just like Emerson’s quote…”BE a friend”.
There’s stir up, love, good works, meet together, encourage. These are all intentional things. We are called to honor and glorify God. The same God that loved us when we were unloving, while we were sinners.

The challenge: What’s one action thing you can do this week for someone else? It could be a relative, a coworker, a distant friend. Write their names down. Pray for them. Send a text or a card. Meet with them. Let them know you are there and thinking about them.

What’s in a last name anyways?

Nice casual ruck. Had to be there.

COT: do you ever really stop to listen in an argument or are you too focused on your response and trying to win? Sometimes you need to stop and receive what the other person is saying and really listen.

Chadd Wright, 3of7 Podcast, said:
“I hiked the Grand Canyon today. If you have t done it yet, you should…..as soon as possible. I have been many places and have never seen anything like it in terms of landscape. I told my wife, during our hike, ‘I can’t believe we waited this long to do this.’ It’s inexcusable. It made me think of how much we leave on the table in life. How often we pass on the opportunity to create amazing memories….because we’re busy doing things that don’t really matter. Soon enough, it’ll be too late.

Don’t leave life on the table. Bring Glory to God in everything we do. Make memories, because things fail and pass away, but memories last a lifetime. And especially, don’t wait, life is but a vapor, and the days are long but the years are short.
