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″

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Polar plunge on New Year’s

COT:
In considering resolutions for the new year, there are many noble things that we can resolve to do better. Time management is one of those things. There can be a lot said about time. King Solomon said there is a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3). We often hear the phrase “time is money” because our time is valuable. What I wanted to share today is that our time is limited. I was thinking about how much time we spend doing the various things in our lives. How much time do we spend working, exercising, teaching, playing, praying, and worshipping? All of these are good things to spend our time on. We must work to take care of our families. We should exercise to take care of the bodies we are blessed with. We must teach our children how to live. We need time to relax and have fun. We need time in prayer to God. We need time to worship God and encourage each other when we gather together. However, do we spend any of our time on fruitless things? Do we waste our time in front of screens? Do we waste extra time at the office when it could wait until tomorrow? Do we spend too much time being lazy on the weekends? James 4:14 impresses on us that our life is as a vapor that only appears for a little while.
James 4:13-17 NASB1995
[13] Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” [14] Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. [15] Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” [16] But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. [17] Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
We need to be mindful of how we spend our time because we don’t have an endless supply.

COT:
Not sure if you’ve noticed it, but there appears to be a homeless camp 🏕️ between Lovell road and Carmichael. When you’re headed North on Pellissippi and get to the Lovel Rd exit, look to the left just below the apartments.

It’s been pretty cold lately…

It makes me sad and I really don’t know what to do about it.

We are super blessed. I may not be money 💰 rich, but I’m so rich. I have a wife and kids that adore me (OK maybe a stretch) that I also adore. I have a roof over my head and cars in my driveway. Our kids are in one of the best schools in an overall great school district. I have a job and I have men that I trust, can workout with, and check in on me.

Life happens and sometimes it’s hard, but I encourage you to take on an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings and you will start to see just how blessed you are.

If you don’t have a church, join me at Faith Promise on Christmas Eve. I’ll be at the 4p service.

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭
