Keep Circling


Hey all you Circle Makers! Hope you had a great weekend! This week we’re making our way through the final chapters of the Circle Maker.

We are reading chapters 16, 17 and 18.

We can have the best plans in the world, but often we need someone in our corner who is there to remind us. So, I’d like to encourage us to do TWO, yes 2, things this week:

Call a Friend
&
Find an Accountability Partner

Here’s our verse we’re focusing on this week; you can look up in your Bible or click and read here Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

In verse 9, we begin with: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.”

Now look at WHY two are better than one:
· Verse 10: “If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
· Verse 11: “Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?”
· Verse 12: “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (So 3 are even better!)

Each line of this passage supports the value of companionship. We were not designed for isolation. We need each other.

Be blessed and be a blessing!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach.  Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
