The Point of Monday Motto is to cause each of us to become MORE AWARE of what is happening in us, through us, and to us during the week.

The Lord gave us the understanding that a three fold cord can not be easily broken!!

KNOW SHARE SERVE is the THREE FOLD CORD. It can be used in many different type of situations.

In relationships ...get to KNOW others, SHARE of yourself, become partners to SERVE each other.

Also in every relationship you have there is 3 CORDS...1st cord is YOU...2nd cord is A FRIEND ...3rd cord is CHRIST --with that in mind we should be mindful of how we treat each other, that we be respectful, that we be honest.

In learning and sharing your knowledge...become more aware (KNOW) and put your experience into words (SHARE) then you can be a resource for others (SERVE.)

In your Spiritual walk...get to KNOW God through the Word...SHARE honestly in prayer....Put what you learn in to action and SERVE.

NONE OF US corner the market on knowledge ...that is why we are to be of a Teachable Spirit. We all learn in layer....line upon line.

Thanks for Joining us!!

The Business of Friendship

The point of having a FRIENDSHIP of LOVE is so that you can have a place to KNOW, SHARE and SERVE.

Tina and I have been friends for a long time and every year that is added it just keeps getting sweeter. God placed us together in the same family by marriage, our husbands are brothers. God made us sisters in Christ, sisters in law and best friends. We are both the kind of women who seek out truth, want our walk to match our talk and we also are very strong personalities.

Over the years we have noticed a pattern in our walk with the Lord and each other. He tends to keep us hand in hand no matter how far apart we are. There was a time we were apart for a year ( that's a story for another time)  and when the Lord reunited us we were learning the same things and could couple up hand in hand again. He uses her to teach me much. She sees things no one else does. She hears what I am saying when I am not speaking out loud.

Some think that BEING FRIENDS means you always get along, never have an issue.....always click!!   Best Friends isn't something you make happen....it is something the Lord grows and sometime the person He has linked you with isn't the easiest person to get along with but is the best person for your growth and spiritual maturity. Be Discerning....

 I can tell you BEING FRIENDS is work!!

It is having patience ......you know things about your friend they may not see about themselves and you have to love them anyway slowly being a light bearer while they are learning.

It is being honest........you have to be willing to share truthfully, being real and vulnerable, trusting.....or it isn't real!!

Its being alert....you have to watch your own behavior and thought/emotional processes....friendships fold because of selfishness.

Its being willing to learn........you have to have a teachable spirit....your friend sees those things in you that you don't know about or think you have.

FRIENDS is a BIG DEAL!!  It is SERIOUS BUSINESS!! It is also the GREATEST JOY!!

It is TO KNOW another truly.....It is TO SHARE yourself truly....It is to SERVE each other FULLY!!!
