MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9-11 Stairclimb
COT: At its highest level, fellowship transcends in-person interaction. Here is a reality of life: at some point, you may find yourself in great adversity…and all “alone.”

When you are “alone,” keep it lowercase “alone.” BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Tap into the spirit of your F3 Brothers. We are with you. One of the fantastic things about F3 workouts is that, ultimately, they are “you versus you” anyway. So it is a paradox: it is better to work out together, but you are only competing against yourself. So, the next time you find yourself alone in a difficult situation, remember, it’s just the same old you vs. you that you have faced during every F3 beat down. If the hands of fate leave you to face a meatloaf massacre by yourself, then look at the bright side: the whole meatloaf is all yours.

SYITG!

CoT:
Once you have children, your life changes.

You begin to do things differently in an effort to care for, provide and guide your children. Of all those things, a father can do one thing that will provide the greatest impact on his children’s lives.

The single greatest thing a dad can do for his children is to love their mother. Plain and simple!

When the kids see dad loving mom, they see what love looks like.

Your sons will know how to relate to women as they grow older. Your daughters will know how a man should talk to her and how a man should treat her. Nothing less will be acceptable.

Loving your children’s mother frees her to love and nurture them, and know their love languages too. Your love encourages and inspires her to do so in the best way she can. Nothing should be allowed to get in the way of this love being expressed to them. Now the love of your children is exponential, and you are having an impact well beyond your marriage.
