CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Looking back at the last 28 years, I started thinking a lot about words vs. action. Benjamin Franklin said “Well done is always better than well said” and that speaks volumes to me. No famous speech is famous just because of the words, but because of the action the speaker took or inspired others to take. Words mean nothing, actions mean something, and words along with actions mean everything.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Consider a parent who says, “Look at the sacrifices I’m making so you can have a better life.” Contrast that with another parent who demonstrates living a great life every day. Self-sacrifice is not a virtue. Living a great life and sharing that life with others is the noble way to live.
– Jonathan Lockwood Huie

This is something I have struggled with especially as a young parent. I often find myself feeling disrespected by my daughter and my initial reaction is to say “look what I’ve done for you”. We have to remember as leaders of our family and community, sacrifice is not spoke it’s an action. Those around us will see that action and follow our lead of it is right. Make that sacrifice in your life not by speaking but by doing.
MOLESKIN:
Keep Avocado and his family in your prayers as he prepares for his next deployment. Also keep drifter in your prayers as he continues to find the light.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. Let’s prepare of hearts and mind for the beginning of Lent as we progress toward Easter and the Resurrection.

As I thought about what to say today, the word sacrifice was on my mind. Growing up, many people made sacrifices for me including coaches, parents, teachers, pastors to get me where I am today. What can you sacrifice today to better yourself, others, or draw closer to God during this time. Things like greed, self doubt, addictions, or a relationship drag us down in this life. Maybe it’s time to let these things go.

We see sacrifice throughout the Bible. Abraham willing to sacrifice his son Isaac is a prime example of trust in God’s plan and putting his needs/ wants aside. The ultimate sacrifice is Jesus’s crucifixion for all of our sins so we can live with him for all eternity. While we may not be called to sacrifice these things in our lives, think about what you can sacrifice over the course of these next few months in this time of Lent. Try to better yourself, your neighbor, and draw closer to God in the process.

MOLESKIN:
Ash Wednesday and beginning of Lent tomorrow.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We all have different things we are called to do, but we all must love. Love is not a feeling but a choice. Sometimes a hard choice like getting up early to workout in the cold and rain. So go love others.

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
