    Two great Proverbs about using our words are found just a couple of verses apart in Proverbs 12.

  • 12:16  Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.      Sometime we don’t need to say anything at all, just ignore the slights and insults that are passed our way.
  • 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.      When we do choose to speak, let’s speak words that bring healing to the hearers, not wounds and pain.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The 3rd F of F3 is really defined as a question: what do you believe happens when you die? How does your answer affect how you live today?

My answer: starts all the way back in Genesis. God created the world good and created humans to be partners in that good work, but we continue to choose our own way, our own wisedom. This continued throughout history, even when God picked a nation for himself, they also chose their own way. Then God came as a man and showed us how to live in the Kingdom of God despite the wickedness around us. Jesus became human flesh and submitted himself to the wisdom of God all the way to the point of death and the grave. And then he rose again and ascended into heaven.

So my answer to the first question is that I believe death is not the end. We have hope in the resurrection and Christ’s reign over a new heaven and earth. So how we live today is to bear one another’s burdens. We need each other for this mean time while we wait for Christ to reconcile all things to himself and we submit ourselves to be servants of all people.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What does this time of year bring to your mind?  Past gatherings with family and friends? Reminders of favorite gifts received when you were young?  The excitement you had when you saw your wife or children open a special gift you gave them?  I certainly have those memories.

There is another memory I have and it comes to me every time I hear or sing Silent Night.  Back in the late ’60s and early ’70s, Bob Hope would take a USO show to the soldiers in Vietnam.  It was his way of bringing joy to a desperate place; his way of giving back to those who were giving so much for us back home. It was about two hours of comedy, song and dance, and beautiful women for the GIs to enjoy.  And did they ever enjoy the time.  The looks on their faces told it all.

As tradition had it, Bob Hope ended each show with clips from the several locations they visited.  That clip was a montage of the singing of Silent Night.  It was hard to keep the tears from flowing – from me or from the military personnel in the audiences.  It is a scene I will never forget.

All of this reminds me of the verse in Luke that captures the feelings of Mary on that first night of Jesus as a baby.  The shepherds had appeared at the manger and told Mary and Joseph all that the angels had told them about the child.  Luke 2:19 “But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.”

We need to do the same. We need to ponder the beauty of God’s gift of His Son.  The gift that is our only way to everlasting life with God.  And if we haven’t done a good enough job of it, we need to provide those experiences with the ones we love so they can treasure up and ponder for years to come.
