COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

43 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Be content with the gifts and blessings that God grants you. We all fall into the trap of wanting more…..just a little more money, a little bigger house, a nicer vehicle, just a little more time, a little more grace from our spouses. The bottom line, though, is that no matter how much “more” we have in terms of worldly possessions, it will never provide the fulfillment and joy that we are seeking. No matter how much “better” our circumstances become, we will never be satisfied. We must avoid the temptation to keep wanting more, and instead, be content and thankful for everything that God has already given to us.

16 strong.  No FNGs.  Ponder was also in attendance, but I could not find his tag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Just keep moving.  We have applied this to our workouts the last several weeks due to the cold weather.  If we don’t, our bodies shut down, hypothermia begins, and left unchecked we die.  We can apply this to our personal and spiritual lives as well.  If we are not moving forward we are stagnant at best and more likely than not regressing.  What areas of your life have become stagnant?  What have you neglected or given up on?  What can you change or do to take action in these areas of your life?

Hebrew 12:1 Therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
