COT:
I read the letter I wrote to Shamrock last year followed by the letter Mrs. Cardinal wrote to us this year.

When asked about why God chose the timing that he did, “She said, “It was because he hadn’t met F3 yet. God waited to take him until they were in your life to take care of you.” She was right. God waited…so that I would have you to walk with me through the darkest valley of my life.”

Do you believe that F3 can make a difference in the lives of men and their families? Who do you see around you that needs support? Who do you go to for support. While sad, Cardinal’s passing is a good story that all men of F3 are part of. The challenge is to make it count for yourself and others while you still can.

Mental health is a big deal! We are all working on our physical bodies and need to keep the mind healthy as well. I had a good friend die by suicide last year. If you are having issues or problems get help! Grab a friend or counselor and get help! Also with new years comes resolutions don’t try to change everything keep reiterating your self a small change over. Long time will do much more than a large unsustainable change.

COT: Think about the positive accomplishments of 2023. Some lost weight. Some got in more Bible reading or other book reading. Maybe we invested more into our family and friends. Don’t get down about things that you didn’t accomplish, but set some goals for 2024.
