COT:

My family does a word for the year. It’s kind of like a resolution, theme or something to work in for the year.

My word for this year is “Treasure”. It comes from Matthew 6 which we often refer to as some of the spiritual disciples. It talks about giving, prayer and fasting.
But when talking about these things it mentions many times treasure and reward, how do get treasure when doing them, what treasure lasts and what kind doesn’t last, etc. It talks about where to keep your treasure so it lasts, and isn’t stolen.
Be encouraged, God wants us to have treasure and he wants to give it to us.
So this year, stop being so generous and benevolent and be greedy with me. Lets go treasure hunting! :pirate_flag: :parrot:

“19 “”Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
“”20 “”But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
“”21 “”For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
— Matthew 6″

COT:
At church we were encouraged to do a Personal Growth Plan and choose a word for the year. My church chose Power. It’s tied to Acts 1:8.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Live in POWER in 2025
P – Prayer
O – Obedient
W – Worship
E – Evangelism
R – Rest

Let me know if you want me to send you the growth plan.

I saw Mailbox’s word is Intentional. I love it!
I chose Presence: the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing.

I encourage you to choose a word. Pray over it, Google Bible verses tied to the word, etc. I’ve found several verses and I’m trying to nail down the one I want to go with.

Let us know what word you choose:
Possible words:
Warrior
Champion
Love
Perceiver
Empowered
Happy
Elevate
Breakthrough
Prepared
Presence

Better ending

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Forgot this but see Mailbox’s post above. lots going on.

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.

It’s getting hot in herrre!

COT: Talked about my injury and the clarity of hindsight and all the things I knew to do differently before hand but failed to do them in the moment. Encouraged everyone to slow down and try to have the clarity of hindsight in the moment during this holiday season. What is that relationship or conversation you wished to have, what is that act of kindness or generosity you might miss, what is that error in judgment that you might be tempted with. Don’t wait for hindsight to have clarity in your actions.
