COT: I encourage each of you to always be grateful for each blessing that is given to you. Often times we pray for the desires of our heart. For example your desire may be a new house, job, or to find a spouse and get married. Then when we get what we have asked for and it’s not perfect we often are not happy with it. I am reminded of a short story of a woman who was walking with her small child on a beach. Suddenly a large powerful wave comes and swoops the woman’s child deep into the water. The woman looks around in a panic for her child. She then looks up to the sky and says “if anyone up there can here me I beg you please get my son back to me. He means everything to in this world. I am nothing without out him. Hearing her cry for help an Albatross fly out of the sky. Follows a rainbow down into the water. Comes out of the water and places her child on his feet in front of her. The woman studies her child from head to toe. Then she looks back up to the sky and says “HE HAD A HAT”.
Again it is very important that we are always grateful for everything thing that come our way. I am grateful for each of my F3 brothers that came out and supported me this morning for my Q. A lot of times it’s a struggle to get to the AO. But once I’m there and see you guys and began to workout I start to feel like my best self. Peanuts says it best and I’m paraphrasing, “F3 workouts in the gloom is the Best part of my day.”
