Circle of Trust

It seems people have been carrying around a lot of “stuff” recently. There is an acronym for this, that YHC cannot recall now, but it basically talks about everything you bring to to the table affecting the way you are at the table. Obviously, there have been continued prayers for Hot Box and Boy Sandwich and their situations, recently a family friend of Rusty was killed in a car accident, and it is stuff that we are all having to deal with.

As a HIM, I think we need to remain steadfast, so we can support those around us –

“Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart”
– Proverbs 3:3

While this is probably talking about relationship between our Father in heaven and the steadfast love we are given, it is an example of how we are to live. This doesn’t mean we cannot show emotions, or feel pain, but it does mean we may need to be called on to support those around us.

An analogy I’ve used in the past is we want to be the flagpole, not the flag. When the wind blows in different directions, we feel it, but we can remain unwavering. We can rely on the strength of our faith in order to do this.

Prayers were said, expressing YHCs gratitude for the other pax who push me to get better, and the fellowship we have with each other, which helps all of us get just a little stronger every day. Special prayers were said for Subway’s MIL, Gladys, Tonka’s friend who lost a father and another friend battling cancer, and for the Dickerson family, who was mentioned above – losing the mother in a car accident, who was a church member, wife, mother and a school teacher. Prayers for peace for all those she touched in her life.
