We did three rounds, in the first one we did 10 reps of each exercise, 20 in the second and we barely finished the third one 😉 with 30 reps. After the first lap to the building we had to run around the large pond once, twice the second time and we did not complete a third try :joy:. After the long run, we did different exercises according to the number of reps in the round.

Jail break to the flag :shovelflag:.

We talked about how differences nurture our lives and enrich our perspective. Let’s pursue coping with differences and avoid criticisms since that is the easy way out.

COT: Was going to share my testimony, but in preparation and prayer God wanted me to talk about Him. Was going to talk about the prodigal son and corruption, but God shared that the parable is actually about the father too. The story goes, “that when the father saw the prodigal son in the distance, he had compassion on him, ran to him, hugged and kissed him.”

Oh how I long for the day to receive that embrace and kiss. Our Father made a way to Him by sacrificing His own son, so that we are no longer slaves, but sons…also heirs. (Gal 4:4-7)

Perhaps God is calling you to Him now, and it is time to receive the Spirit of His Son inside of you so you can experience the love from the kindest and loving Father you could ever know.

Radical Forgiveness = Unlimited Love ❤️

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
”Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Unforgiveness is a tomb that we bury ourselves in.

If you harbor unforgiveness in your heart, you have limited love.

Oh yeah, have you forgiven yourself? Regret is an anchor ⚓️ you can let go of.

Radical forgiveness gives you resurrection power! What did Jesus say from the cross, “Father forgive them…”

Surround yourself with men that will call you forward. Men that will hold you accountable.

Thank you :pray:

Our Blessing

COT: We are, in general, a very blessed nation. Oftentimes, we do not count our blessings from God, and we take them for granted. At church, we sing a song “Count your blessings, name them one by one.” We need to remember to be grateful for all of our blessings, but this morning, I want to mention one blessing in particular that we especially shouldn’t take for granted: our wives. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. She needs to know! There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages.

COT: COT: Listening/Hearing
At a men’s get to together at church this week, the focus was on listening.
How fruitful is your listening. With your wife, kids, at work, family, and with the Lord. Are you listening in order to get your next word in? Are you thinking about what you’re going to say rather than really listening? Are you focused on you or on the one speaking and what they are saying?

”But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”“
‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬
bible.com/bible/59/mrk.4.20.ESV

The exercise at church was to partner up, and one person just speak for 5 minutes, and the other listen, with no words the whole time. The topic was to discuss a challenge/issue we are dealing with and also to share a hope and prayer that we have. He got this from someone else, and in their exercise, the challenge was for 20 minutes.
I’ve not done it yet, and I’ll accept some accountability here, but I want to do this exercise, or some variation with my wife. Talking and being focused on listening is something we need to improve, so I’ll encourage you to do the same with your wife or someone else in your life.
