CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A friend of mine recently spoke of moments of grace in his life. He mentioned that these moments of grace give him faith.

I reflected on this for a week or so, as he is a good friend and mentor. A week or so later, I was at dog pound running my mouth as usual 🙂   I mentioned something about being a dad. Junk turned to me and said, “You know Shooter, I know your father. You should know that he is VERY proud of you.”

 

This struck me as interesting. Here was a moment of grace in my life. Trying to get better with men who want the best for me, but something more was provided. It was a graceful moment that offered utility. It again illustrated the need to say what needs to be said in the manner that conveys the proper meaning. I like to reduce this to something like pay attention and act on what you perceive to be true.

 

So, I made sure to go home and talk to my father. I tried to tell him all the things that needed to be said. That was great, but another thing happened a week or so later again.

 

I was visiting with a friend from out of town who is an artist as a hobby. He gave me a piece of his art and subtly mentioned that he would like some photos of it.

I took a note of it in my head and made sure to send him photos the next day. I perceived that he wanted the photos because he mentioned it but also I knew he found the work meaningful and valuable, which is why he gave it to me in the first place. I acted on that and made sure to send him photos. The next day he saw the photos and REALLY appreciated it.

TLDR-

Graceful moments have utility

Pay attention and act on what you perceive to be true

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Not prepared for the Word this morning, I decided quickly to turn in The Word to James 1.  This one of my favorite passages. I read the first 8 or so verses.  Trials will come, but you will make it through them and be better in the end if you look to God for wisdom.  Ask God for wisdom, and he will give it if you ask without doubting but with faith.

The very best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today.  Take a moment today and reflect on something that you should have started already, big or small.  Saving for kid’s college, fixing a broken relationship, cleaning out the garage, developing a prayer life, etc.  Take the first step today.
