CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As most of you know, we’ve been prepping our house for sale. This presents a number of opportunities for… friction. The thing that can grease that friction and keep it from flaring up and causing a fire is Love. Not touchy-feely type of gushy love, but Love that lays down Its life for another. Here’s the description of what love does. Read from The Message because this is a very familiar passage, and sometimes we can gloss over the words when we know them so well…

From 1 Cor. 13 (The Message)
No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.

Remember to be grateful for things you typically take for granted. An example is our F3 brotherhood.  We shouldn’t take it for granted because it has changed my health and emotional outlook.  Let’s challenge each other to be cognizant of that throughout the day and to acknowledge with thanks something that you have typically neglected.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

My health has been bad in 2018. Fortunately, my doctors figured out my thyroid wasn’t functioning properly so I’m now taking medication to increase my thyroid levels. While it’s been rough for me and my family, I never thought I was going to die.

My charity helps people every day who have cancer and may actually die. Instead of feeling sorry for myself like I have over the last 6 months, I need to appreciate that my doctors have figured it out AND it’s treatable AND I’ll survive AND I’m blessed with basic resources that I can afford (food, clothing, shelter, medications, etc.).  Many people don’t have those so it’s time to focus on doing what I can to help them!

MOLESKIN:

Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak. Heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony. ~ Psalm 6:2

The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.  ~ Psalm 41:3

1 Corinth 9:24 Run in such a way as to get the prize..

2 Tim 2:4 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.

Phil 3:14 press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Prayer:  Pray for Christian that his visa renewal goes well!
