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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
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.
