COT:
We can live a life of honor on the outside, if we live with joy on the inside.

Joy is our job. We speak life!

I went to Dollywood yesterday with my family. We had some passes we traded for concert tickets last year. When we got to the gate, they wouldn’t scan… We were advised to go to the ticket booth to figure it out. They told us the tickets had already been used. Now what?!
I was confused and angry. My family was upset. I chose joy. I went to the ticket booth and purchased 4 tickets and paid a lot more than I was expecting.

We had a blast 💥 I rode roller coasters with my wife and kids. My youngest is 8, so this was a new experience. I don’t know if it was because we were there during the week, or the weather was predicted to be dicey, but the lines were short. We stayed all day and watched the fireworks and drone show last night. It was amazing 🤩

When we choose joy as our job, we show up, we don’t shut down.

When joy is our job, we do not cover, we confront!

“ Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
-Romans 12:10

COT:

Joyful surprise….was completely blown away to see two of my cousins show up to my mom’s graveside service to support my brother and me. Unexpected unconditional kindness is pretty uncommon, but leaves such a last impression. How can you go out of your way to show unexpected unconditional kindness to others this week?

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

COT:
Doing a lot of traveling to visit my team at other sites, it validated to me that there is a lot more behind the scenes than our perceptions may have. We often jump to conclusions and need to remember to ask people questions and consider what you can do to help them. This plays out in our daily lives as we interact with coworkers, family, friends…but for me it’s my son. It’s hard not to judge the actions of a teenager but talking with him has brought out soo much that I would have improperly assumed otherwise. Be intentional to connect with people and not derive your own perception of other people actions and intentions.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:I don’t know about you, but I tend to not think enough about how blessed I am. There is so much to be thankful for: our families, our friends, our jobs, or F3 brothers! There are many in this world that do not share the same blessings in life. We need to be thankful!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB1995
“[16] Rejoice always; [17] pray without ceasing; [18] in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We need to be thankful in all things.
Ephesians 1:3-5 NASB1995
“[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, [4] just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love [5] He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,”
God has blessed us with access to immeasurable spiritual blessings through His Son.
James 1:17 NASB1995
“[17] Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”
Let’s remember to give thanks to God for what we have!
