Circle of Trust
I’ve been guilty of living the past, thinking too much of the future and wanting more when what is most important is right now. The present moment we have.
The serenity prayer says “We must accept the things we cannot change, have the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
We can’t change the past and the future is far away but we can have the courage to change this moment right now. This is what we’re doing. This is the moment we can control.
The Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite movies growing up. The scarecrow needed a brain, the tin man needed a heart and the lion needed courage.
I always ask my 3 year old daughter to show me her muscles…she will flex and show me her muscles and then I ask her where else is she strong and she says in my head, and in my heart. This is where real courage lies.
Gentlemen all I ask is that you think about where you are strongest…it’s one thing to be physically fit and strong…it’s another thing to carry such strength in your head and in your heart.
Thanks for bringing your all today and putting into the rest of your day.
For our greatest strengths and all our courage lie no where else but in the head and the heart of the jungle.
We prayed for Poutine’s grandfather who recently passed and closed in prayer overall together.
