COT: it was great to meet some new HIMs and be back where I grew up. FC was a special place for me and was really a very atypical HS experience. Coffee was a nice touch!

Respect and consideration for the fellow yet delicate heir/family of God.
”Husbands… treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers.“ ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭NET‬‬

In the book, “Love & Respect”, a picture using this verse was painted that has helped me in my marriage — picture men as a vase made of copper and a woman as beautiful porcelain. Each is useful and has its purposes. Yet you learn to handle them differently. Both can be damaged and need sometimes different treatment and care.

Let us treat our wives with consideration, respect, and kindness. They are equal heirs of the grace and life given to us in the family of Jesus. Knowing this, if we treat the women in our life poorly, especially a wife, mother or significant other—our own relationship with Jesus and even our prayers can be hindered.

End in Lord’s prayer.
”So pray this way:
Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NET‬‬
