COT:
We lined up according to age 2 by being told to. We then on the 3rd time didn’t. So we had to pay the tax and line up. The 4,5 time we lined up. We are told that in life you must do this or that and you need to stay in your lane. And in some instances that may be applicable, but in life, if you want to do something or be somebody do it. If you want to accomplish something, do it. Do not let anyone tell you that you can not do it.

Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

We have been given attributes and gifts from God, which can be used to help our friends and brothers in their time of need. Likewise, they have unique ways to help us. The thing we all need to do is swallow our pride, be vulnerable, and ask for help. If not, we never change. This is one of the many great things about F3. If you are seeing this, you have men in your corner.

Peace
Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”

Peace is something we all desire in every aspect of our life, but can only truly be found in a relationship with Christ. Let’s spread peace by example and impacting lives around us. Especially when chaos and darkness seem to be everywhere.

Proverbs 18:21
“Death and Life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Matthew 12:34b
“…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

Be careful not to speak from anger and criticism, but choose love and encouragement. The seeds you sow in your conversations as a father and a leader, will determine what relationships you’ll reap. Watch your tone, and give yourself an assessment and challenge yourself to speak with a heart of love and encouragement.
