raamdev.com/2021/one-percent/#:~:text=15%20minutes%20%3D%201%25%20of%20your%20day

You’ve just worked hard for 3% of your day.
45 minutes.
– Are you owning and making the most of the 3% of your day that you’re investing in with F3?
– If this is one of the hardest things you do all day, what does the other 97% look like?

We just worked hard over 3 consecutive 1% time periods (15 minutes).

15 minutes is just 1% of your day. Here’s a neat formula I’ve heard over the years on how to maximize just 1% of your day, every day.
– Silence for 5 minutes
– The world is loud. Cultivate a rhythm or unplugged silence.
– Reflect for 5 minutes
– What’s going on up there (head) and in here (heart)? Cultivate a rhythm of reflection.
– Pray for 5 minutes
– Prayer is plugging into the source of life by talking with God. Cultivate a rhythm of conversation with your Creator.

This month, billions of people around the world will celebrate the birth of a Jewish baby in a town in a land that they don’t think Jews lived in before 1948.

The current conflict (and past and future ones) were foretold in Genesis to Abraham by God. He promised that the decedents of his 2 sons would fight until the end times.

Gift of Giving,
The gift of making someone smile can go a long way. Take a look at all things around you and how thankful we should be. We are fortunate to have the brotherhood we have established. These are life long friendships. I encourage to find a way to give to either a church, someone in need, a child for Christmas, or just anything in General.

A prayer for 2024:
God of Love, You are with us in every transition and change. As we enter this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents, and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another.
We ask this in your Holy Name.
