COT: Remembering my dad who shares a birthday with me and passed away in 2017. One of his lessons to me was to challenge my perspective, my assumptions. Always try to see things from other perspectives. Challenge your viewpoint. Are you seeing things as God intended? Or do our selfish desires get in the way?

Bonus: Lots of easy listening when I was born: James Taylor, the Carpenters. Still some Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in there, too though. :sign_of_the_horns:

Focus was on the good new being for ALL. The shepherds, being lower in society were the first ones to know of this good new, that the son of God has come to earth. The spreading of the good news, the Gospel, started there. Let’s continue the sharing the good news everywhere we go, in word and action.

COT:
Not sure if you’ve noticed it, but there appears to be a homeless camp 🏕️ between Lovell road and Carmichael. When you’re headed North on Pellissippi and get to the Lovel Rd exit, look to the left just below the apartments.

It’s been pretty cold lately…

It makes me sad and I really don’t know what to do about it.

We are super blessed. I may not be money 💰 rich, but I’m so rich. I have a wife and kids that adore me (OK maybe a stretch) that I also adore. I have a roof over my head and cars in my driveway. Our kids are in one of the best schools in an overall great school district. I have a job and I have men that I trust, can workout with, and check in on me.

Life happens and sometimes it’s hard, but I encourage you to take on an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings and you will start to see just how blessed you are.

If you don’t have a church, join me at Faith Promise on Christmas Eve. I’ll be at the 4p service.

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭
