We did a good stretch before starting the workout and completed it one time then finished the rest with a walk.

COT: Asked for prayers for my father due to a cardiac procedure he will have next Friday and a few other prayer requests from the Group. Prayers are very important and they definitely make an impact on the multiple trials and tribulations in our life.

COT: As an adult, realizing the importance of community. My parents always took us to Fun Fest and it’s some of the best childhood memories that I have.. I loved being raised in a smaller town, but as I grew older, I wanted to move away. And I still may some day.  But for now,  Im very thankful for finding work in my hometown. There are few jobs in my line of work and I am fortunate enough to get to stay in the Tricities

COT: “The deepest craving of human nature is the need to feel appreciated.” – William James
I’m currently reading “The Power of a Positive Mom.” As adults we want to feel appreciated at work as well as at home. Also, be mindful of our kids & their need to feel appreciated. Feed their little spirits with positive words. Some psychologists say, when someone hears one negative comment, it takes 10 positive comments to overcome the effects of the negative one.

COT: Lately I’ve been going through a rough patch of health uncertainties. The main thing I’ve been able to tell myself to keep going is, James 1:2-5 “Consider it PURE JOY my brothers and sisters when you face trials of many kinds. Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perservearnce.” Remeber whether you’re tackling a mountain or a mole hill, that God is with you and He has such great plans for you out of these struggles!
