Warmups- high knees, arm circles, jump jacks, stretches

The thang: There’s a pumpkin filled with candy. On each piece there’s an exercise and number of reps. (Rep #s coordinate with the amount of calories in each piece of candy so they were higher than normal). Everyone picks 4 pieces and do them as individuals. Then we will do a short Dora with other pieces. And a “lady bug” if we have time.

COT: Psalm 23:1 the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. We all have EVERYTHING we need!! (Maybe not all we want! But that’s ok! It’s character building and we can learn to be content). Life is crazy right now but we all need the reminder that we all NEED NOTHING!! Finances may be tough, COVID may have been a huge distraction, life may be topsy turvey but you have no NEED unmet! That’s awesome and worth celebrating. PRAY

CoT: “Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.” It’s been a really difficult time lately and tense/stressful situations have only gotten worse. Even in what seems like the worst moment or worst interaction, I want to make sure that I am choosing a positive attitude and radiating that to others.

CoT: Life is crazy and fragmented, right now, and there rarely seems to be time for all the things we need or want to do. I’ve been working hard on appreciating the tiny investments of time in my day. 12 minutes seems to be the max amount of time I have for just about anything.  12 minute meals, showers, nursing, working out, sex, homework help, yard work, you name it! It can feel hectic, but I just have to be thankful for those 12 minutes I was gifted to invest in myself or others. If you can use any amount of time for good, you win!

Doublemint Q:

Cot:
My daughter has been struggling with depression and loneliness due to COVID and being stuck home. I encouraged her with a verse from James in the Bible that says “ Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” We all go through trials and suffering. The key is how we respond to them. The Bible says to consider it joy because it builds character and perseverance. Instead of viewing our trials as problems, we should view them as learning experiences that help us grow and mature.

COT: “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” -African ProverbIf you have high standards for self, it can push you to achieve many things, but remember that just because you aren’t reaching your self-set expectations it doesn’t mean that you are failing. When you don’t get a lot of external feedback, it’s important to take a step back sometimes to evaluate how reasonable your goals are and to celebrate achievements and little victories.

COT:
“The secret is Christ in me; not me in different circumstances” Elisabeth Elliot
Maybe I think I can be a better mom if my children just listened better, or maybe I could be a better wife if I had more help, or if life was easier I could do much more…..
But really, it isn’t about what’s going on around me, but what’s going on INSIDE me & WHO I’m allowing to guide me …… fear, insecurities, frustrations, resentment, etc. No matter what my circumstances, Christ is there wanting to be my guide if I’ll just let him.

COT: seasons – my family moved from Tampa FL 3 years ago in Dec. It’s gone by so fast. Living in that climate made me forget the beauty of all 4 seasons. It was truly a struggle when I moved here. The cold almost gave me a sort of anxiety. But over time I’ve realized that I’ll be fine! The cold won’t hurt me! I have come to truly enjoy each season in its beauty and purpose! In life we need to do the same. Don’t wish this season away! It may be tough and have its challenges but it has its beauty and purpose. Don’t wish for things to be different be present and contend in the season you’re in!Quote: Nature gives to every time and season unique beauty; from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it’s just a succession of changes so soft and comfortable that we hardly notice the progress. -Charles DickensThere is a harmony is autumn and I listen in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
