COT: Do onto others as they would like to be done unto them. Do not treat others like you want to be treated but how they want to be treated. Practice empathy with others as each person reacts differently as we see in our children everyday.

Welcome to Rolling Stones who previously was with the Charlotte F3 group.

COT: Speak Lord for your servant is listening. Sometimes we have to give in to whatever is going on in our lives and give your fears, doubts, concerns up to a higher power. It has been very helpful to stop fighting and move confidently into whatever life brings you. It has helped with staying zen and taking your stress off your shoulders and hearts. Be well Brothers!!

WORDS OF WISDOM

Neh 2:17 Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach.” 18 I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king’s words which he had spoken to me. Then they said, “Let us arise and build.” So they put their hands to the good work.

What good work is before you this day? Even if it’s something hard, difficult, and slow as building a wall?
