COT:
Doing a lot of traveling to visit my team at other sites, it validated to me that there is a lot more behind the scenes than our perceptions may have. We often jump to conclusions and need to remember to ask people questions and consider what you can do to help them. This plays out in our daily lives as we interact with coworkers, family, friends…but for me it’s my son. It’s hard not to judge the actions of a teenager but talking with him has brought out soo much that I would have improperly assumed otherwise. Be intentional to connect with people and not derive your own perception of other people actions and intentions.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

COT:
Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10, and 11
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

This is a wisdom from Solomon. We need each other and everything is better when we do it together.

COT:
Reflecting on Sacrifice:
Jesus taught, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends..” John 15:13 This verse echoes the selflessness of those who have served and reminds us of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

Comfort in Grief:
For those mourning the loss of loved ones, Psalm 34:18 offers solace: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” In our sorrow, God draws near, providing comfort and peace.

Hope in Eternity:
As we remember the fallen, we find hope in the promise of eternal life. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 assures us: “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:I don’t know about you, but I tend to not think enough about how blessed I am. There is so much to be thankful for: our families, our friends, our jobs, or F3 brothers! There are many in this world that do not share the same blessings in life. We need to be thankful!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB1995
“[16] Rejoice always; [17] pray without ceasing; [18] in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We need to be thankful in all things.
Ephesians 1:3-5 NASB1995
“[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, [4] just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love [5] He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,”
God has blessed us with access to immeasurable spiritual blessings through His Son.
James 1:17 NASB1995
“[17] Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”
Let’s remember to give thanks to God for what we have!
