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.

A few quotes:  “I always thought it was me against the world and then one day I realized it was just me against me,” Every next level of your life will demand a different you,” Everyone wants a powerful woman until you start dating her and realize you have to step your shit up.”  Basically, know that it is you against you until you devote yourself to those relationships, especially one with God.  As we did today, “partner Up,” because you’re never really alone.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:2‭-‬5 NASB
Many times we answer with knowledge instead of wisdom. Wisdom includes listening to anothers words and feelings and responding if necessary. Many times no response is needed, the person just needed to be heard. Wisdom is required for the trials we face, we need to be willing to ask for it and have the patience to receive it.
