ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Proverbs 16:32- “Better to be slow to anger than a mighty warrior. One who controls his temper is better than one who conquers a city.”
As strong as we may be physically, it counts only as weakness if we are quick to get angry and give in to fits of rage. True strength lies in controlling our tempers.

If I Could Save Time in a Bottle
the First Thing That I’d Like to Do
Is to Save Every Day
‘Til Eternity Passes Away
Just to Spend Them With You

-Jim Croce, Time in a Bottle

Mr. Croce supposedly wrote this song after his wife shared with him that she was pregnant with their son. The lyrics are haunting when you realize he died in a place crash just a year later. After Shotgun’s COT about how we are spending our time, this song came to mind. Are we making the most of our time with our family and loved ones? Or, are we content to idly stand by while minutes pass that we can never get back. While we can’t capture time in a bottle, we should strive to exist in the moment and waste as few precious seconds as possible.

COT:
Check on Your People
Check in with a friend or family member that you haven’t talked to recently. Maybe someone who is alone or might be lonely. Give them a call, ask how they are doing, be prepared to listen.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV
[9] Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. [10] For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! [11] Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? [12] And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
