CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Typically when putting the kids to bed it is easy to let her do the bed time reading when I know I should share the responsibility.  Recently reading the daily devotional 4128-uncommen-being-better-husbands-and-fathers-daily it mentioned that kids who are read to by dad, according to a study by Harvard University researchers, have better-developed language skills than kids who were read to by mom.   It goes to show that easy way is not always the best way.

Waffle house shared afterwards that reading to his kids (oldest is 16) is still an extremely rewarding experience!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Often we measure our sense of security and significance by our external circumstances…where we “are.”  A stronger, truer expression is to look at the direction we are heading in.  Our circumstances may be tough, but if keep our eyes fixed on God, and seek to live with honor and integrity we will find a strength and resilience we didn’t know we had access to.  Conversely, we may be in a “good place” circumstantially, but if we don’t guard our heart and mind we will soon find life looses it’s joy and wonder.  Bottom Line: Life is a pursuit, not a destination!  What are your eyes fixed on?  How can you help someone in your life shift perspectives?

I watched Clemson Head Football Coach Dabo Sweeney discuss how to handle situations where players did not stand during the National Anthem.  His points were interesting on a topic that has been heavy on my heart.  I had the following two points for us to reflect on:

Points to reflect on:

1.) God gave us two great commandments, first to, “Love the Lord our God with all of our heart, all of our mind, and all of our strength”.  Secondly, “Love your neighbor as yourself”.  God didn’t say love people that are your same race, religion, sexuality, etc., etc., fill in the blank but, God did say LOVE your neighbor as yourself.  We do not have to all agree with other’s actions but we must LOVE one another.

2.) To see change we have to look in the mirror because ultimately we all want good in this nation and world but we have different ideas of what that looks like so to accompany our immediate prayers let us also use the simplistic yet effective formula of LOVE and KINDNESS for our fellow man and change starts at home and spreads to impact others.
