ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10-year convergence Nov. 8!

COT: Talked about the balancing act between the importance of having and acting upon a set of core values or convictions, whether they be religious, your opinion on how groups should be run, etc., and how it can be challenging to do this as a LEADER, because your actions and decisions will affect other people. And many of those people may have strong convictions as well that are not necessarily aligned with yours. So if the primary basis is a set of beliefs that aren’t universally shared by many in the group, what do you do? Martin Luther King said “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.” I feel I need to work on being able to mold consensus, because that is something I have failed at recently in leadership positions. I need to be more cognizant and respectful of those who disagree with me so that we can find a way forward.

One thing I’ve loved about F3 over the years is that it’s largely a place that is absolutely NOT RUN according to any one person’s personal doctrine. The mission is to support and lift up the guy next to you. Promote servant leadership. Living Third. Issues like politics and differences between specific faiths—even though FAITH is one of our three F’s– are left at the door. So as leaders, I agree with Dr. King in that we need to try to actively create consensus, and find the balance between holding firm to our values while finding solutions and compromises that respect other’s that are affected by our decisions as well.

Gratitude!!!!

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

James 1:17 (NIV)

Experts say that the attitude you have for the day is set in the first eight minutes of your day. Do you want to grumble, gripe, and grunt your way through the day, or do you want to be grateful?

The Bible says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17 NIV).

Gratitude gets you to focus on your loving Father who meets all your needs.

Don’t start your day with confession or requests. Start with gratitude. Think about God and his goodness. Tell him he’s a good Father, thanking him for being caring, close, and consistent. List the ways he’s been good to you. Tell him what you’re thankful for: running water, bed and a blanket, a warm house when it’s cold and a cold house when it’s hot outside. You don’t have to worry about the right thing to say. Just say what you feel and what’s on your mind.

One of the ways you can start your day with thankfulness is to make a playlist of songs. Choose songs of gratitude that remind you of who God is and what he has done for you. Turn it on as soon as you open your eyes so that your first thoughts are grateful. Worship is the best way to wake up!

You can also make a list of the things you’re thankful for and keep it near your bed or wherever you have a quiet time. A gratitude list can help keep you focused on God’s goodness, and then you can pour out your heart to him in thanks.

When you wake every morning, make sure the first thing you’re doing is thanking God for his consistent love and recalling all the ways that he’s good to you.

Get up with gratitude. It will change everything about your day!

COT: the Q gave a personal story about never taking for granted the ones you love. although you kinda had to be there to get the story… the q shared that for years, he thought that the toothbrush top on his sonicare toothbrush never got dirty because of the vibration and technology, and that unbeknownst to him his wife had been going behind his back and every three months of switching out the toothbrush attachment to keep it clean. he thought it was like magic and it just stayed clean automatically and he was grateful when he found out that she had been doing this for all those years. never take them for granted always share your love.
