COT: 2 Parts. 1 – Steady work over time produces results and I mentioned how proud I was of my Daughter for completing her PT over a few months and being back in track and cross country. 2 – The workouts we did today were things we always do PLUS a little extra and they were MUCH MUCH harder. So reminder that we can always push ourselves to be better and even a small change can make something that’s “normal” much harder and produce more results.

COT:

One of the names of our Savior Jesus Christ that I’ve been pondering is Hope of the World. These are some thoughts of the hope He gives.

Hope to be known, seen, and loved 100%, as we are.

Hope to change, hope that He who sees us as we are can help us become something better. Hope that we can overcome weaknesses so deep we may even consider them part of our personality or identity, but that we know deep down aren’t in line with our truest, divine identity. Hope that we can overcome stagnation and despair, and find peace for our guilt, relief for our regrets.

Hope that we and those we love will live again.

Hope that we can start again. And again. And again and again. Hope for second chances, clean slates, new beginnings. Hope that there is no such thing as the end.

Hope that the joy we can feel right now doesn’t depend on the circumstances of our lives, but on the focus of our lives.

Jesus Christ is that never ending source of hope and joy. May we each feel His hope this Christmas season!

BOM

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

“Men, in everything we do—whether it’s crushing a workout, leading at home, or serving in our communities—let’s give it our all. God calls us to strive for excellence, not for recognition, but to honor Him with our efforts. The grit we show here in the gloom strengthens not just our bodies but our spirit and leadership. Let’s carry this mindset forward today—work heartily, lead boldly, and lift one another up!”
