COT: Luke 12

Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and He turned and said to them, “Whoever comes to Me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be My disciple.
Whoever does not carry the cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.”
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it?
Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, saying, “This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.”

There’s a story of a young man who was carrying his cross but found it uncomfortable and heavy.
It rubbed his shoulder raw and gave him splinters.
So he whittled it down to a nice small size, painted flowers on it, and wrote across the front, “I love Jesus,” as he tied it around his neck so that no one could doubt his devotion to the Savior.
As he reached the end of his life, he found himself before a deep chasm.
On the other side were the gates of Heaven, wide open to all who would enter.
But he could not cross, for it was too wide to jump and the gulf before him went down beyond sight.
As he watched, other people carrying their crosses came to the edge of the rift.
They threw down their full-sized crosses, which bridged the gap, and walked on them to the other side, where they entered the eternal delights of Heaven.
After they passed over, their crosses disintegrated.
Eventually, everyone with a cross passed to the other side, and the young man was left looking down at the abyss, then at his cross with the flowers and “I love Jesus” painted on it.
Then the gates of Heaven closed. End of story.
Our Church and our world today desperately need us to follow our Lord Jesus and to take up our share of His Cross.

Shared that my family is learning 7 deadly sins and graces to assist through them. We’ve reviewed Pride/Humilty, Greed/Love, Sloth/Zeal and Lust/Chastity. Q shared that sharing our weakness with family can be hard but so important to be the primary educators and support for our children. Also remember to support others who are struggling and ask for help when we need it

“Work as Worship”
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” – Colossians 3:23

On Labor Day, we pause to honor the dignity of work and the people who labor with skill, strength, and dedication. Whether it’s in an office, a classroom, a kitchen, a construction site, or at home—our work matters to God.

In Colossians, Paul reminds us that our work isn’t just for a paycheck or recognition. When done with the right heart, work becomes an act of worship. God values diligence, integrity, and faithfulness—not just in ministry, but in everyday labor.

Even the most ordinary tasks, when done with love and excellence, reflect God’s character. Work is not a curse but a calling, a chance to bring order, beauty, and service to the world around us.

COT:
Building Our Life on Jesus
Matthew 7:24
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

Life will bring storms—challenges, losses, and uncertainties. Jesus never promised a storm-free life, but He did offer a storm-proof foundation. When we build our lives on His words, His truth, and His love, we stand firm no matter what comes our way.
To build on Jesus means making Him the center of everything—our decisions, our relationships, our dreams. It means trusting Him even when it’s hard and obeying Him even when it’s costly. He is the only foundation that lasts.
