CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.” M. Scott Peck

How often do we find ourselves ignoring opputunity to invest in our children, significant others, or people in general because we are distracted or entralled by something else (i.e. social media, cell phone, etc.) We do well to reduce these distractions and to engage with our children and others by learning about them and relating to them. In some ways this goes against our nature which we have to learn how to defy in order to have the best quality in our relationships.

MOLESKIN:

We prayed for our ability to cope with holiday stress, career decisions, and the Mend House.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Manilow will be on Q Thursday. Other Q’s are still available in December.

2019 has been a tough year among our F3 brotherhood – we have dealt with illness, injury, death.  In light of that and also in light of the Christmas season I decided to share several scriptures of encouragement to remind us that GOD is ultimately in control and we can find our rest in him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.
Motivation will only get you so far. It won’t get you out of bed every morning to go to workout. Discipline will get you through the things that you don’t feel like doing, but will push you to do it.
