COT: We talked about how we all make mistakes… even Albert Einstein!– but negative reinforcement can be a bit toxic, especially if the bulk of someone’s effort is excellent. Don’t let negative comments be the only feedback you give to people. Positive reinforcement can be much more motivating.
POINT #1 of the BOM: don’t keep the fear of making a mistake keep you from trying something, but…
POINT #2 of the BOM: don’t let negative feedback be the only feedback you give someone. Don’t take for granted all the good things they’ve done, whether it’s your spouse, co-worker, etc. Praise them for that. Don’t just correct them when they make mistakes.

COT: “…I’ve had some challenges in the last couple years and ultimately, I believe that suffering leads to salvation. That we must accept, not deny, but feel our suffering and feel our losses. Then we make one of two decisions; we either decide to go through the gate of resentment – which leads to vengeance – which leads to self-harm – which leads to harm-to-others OR we go through the gate of forgiveness. Which leads to grace.” -Jim Carrey (actor/comedian)

COT:

Message: Thoughts for 2025:
1. Lose yourself and focus on God and others. In so doing you will find who God intends you to be.
2. Consider these words from James 1 2-4: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking of anything.
3. If you find you are anxious remember that anxiety is normal, it impacts all of us. But, know that God is there for you and will help you handle your trials. Give your anxiety to God.

Prayers:

Pray for Lizzy’s father-in-law, Ralph who has both cancer and dementia. Pray for his family members who are caring for them that they may have love and patience during a very difficult time. Pray for those impacted by the recent plane crashes.
