COT:
Check in with a friend or family member that you haven’t talked to recently. Maybe someone who is alone or might be lonely. Give them a call, ask how they are doing, be prepared to listen.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV
[9] Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. [10] For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! [11] Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? [12] And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

COT:
To quote Brad Paisley, there is a last time for everything – last F3 workout, last time seeing your mom, last burpee. For Cardinal, his last burpees were right at the beginning of this workout, 2 years ago.

We just don’t know when that last time will be.

If that is the case, then we should make the most of the time we have, love those around us, forgive freely, work hard, and be thankful for all the days that we have been given.

Prayer for a few requests. SYITG next time. :cardinal:

It’s almost January again. It’s a great time to plan, to be intentional instead of reactive. Herbie shared about a resource for picking a verse for the new year. It’s a good time to reflect on all spheres of life and think about where we want be. Fitness, fellowship, faith, body, mind, soul, vocation, family, service, etc. What are we building and why?
