reflection: Proverbs 22:4
"The reward of humility [having a realistic view of your position] and the fear of the Lord [understanding His position] is riches, honor, and life."
– This is an area of weakness for me I've been pondering lately, being too prideful vs being humble; whether it's me evaluating my performance based on others, not being able to willingness 'lose' an argument, not treating others as I should because I'm not able to stay in control and de-escalate situations.
– Understanding who I am and understanding who God is reminds me that my ways are not His ways, and I need to bow down, serve Him, and serve others.
– Sacrificial love is not possible when pride is driving.
– Anvil shared a great example of the difference in focus between "I'm proud of you" vs "You did an amazing job".
– Strudel brought up how it is important to be an example to the little ones.
moleskine:
* good times were by all
* I noticed that Mulligan mentioned soreness on Slack last night, : )
* Thanks Anvil for resolving the battlerope sling challenges. I appreciate you mentioning about not getting it dirty. Finally, the idea to hookup to the truck hitch; I'll try it out before the next playhouse.
* The battleropes were tougher than I thought they would be. Maybe they'll loosen up a little when it isn't mid-20's. Maybe my shoulders will be stronger next time too.
* Fantastic 2nd F at Cabbellas…JR's wife says they have felt the love and prayers. Keep it up guys!
Honored to lead you guys
