COT: Better is the end of a thing thank the beginning and better is the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit. Ecc 7:8

This Christmas don’t try to do too much and get impatient, instead to less, do it better and grow in your spirit of patience and in this way, end better.

Take some time to examine where in this year you have grown in a spiritual practice and where you have slipped and rest in the mercy of God to get back on track.

Great work by all and awesome encouragement on the run

COT: Last week Lil’ Spice mentioned a Christian artist named Andrew Peterson. I recognized the name, not by music but by his writing. He wrote a 4 book miniseries entitled The Wingfeather Saga that tells the tale of a family of kids who must learn about life in the midst of strife.
In one chapter an idea struck as very poignant. The idea is to be the Moon in the darkness. To be a light for those who are struggling. I talked about how the moon has many phases that shows different brightness. We also reflect that same brightness, sometimes Full, sometimes waxing or waning and sometimes new and just showing a sliver. Sometimes it’s obvious that we are good men, husbands, fathers, leaders and other times when we struggle to see a way for ourselves. So when you’re bright, shine for those who struggle and when you struggle find that bright light and ask for help.
Guardrail also mentioned that the moon doesn’t provide light but gives off the reflection of the sun, so, in this metaphor, be a reflection of the Son.

Prayers for those struggling through what life has going on including cancer, health, storm recovery and so much more
