My VQ and I only now started realizing how much effort the Qs put into leading these workouts. And I appreciate the chance to learn that, to learn the stress of it, the challenge of it, and the chance to become better because of it.

There’s always room in our lives to become better people. Every day we get these chances. And it’s what we do with them that makes all the difference. hopefully we’re paying attention in those moments and see them as something to give us more purpose…for ourselves, our families, the ones we love and the community that surrounds us.

I see F3—the men here—creating that in my life, for sure. And I hope I can reciprocate. I’ll spend some time today in thought, focused on that, in gratitude for the opportunity—and I hope you can find some time too, thinking about how you can become better and gracious for the purpose you’ve been given.

With that in mind…

Dear Lord,

Thank you for bringing this group together. We’ve all been given the gift of purpose. We pray that you guide us that we can also help others be encouraged to fulfill their purpose.

Please help all of those around us in their times of need and help make them whole, those that were mentioned here and those unmentioned that surely need your help.

In your name we pray. Amen.
