I hope you are enjoying our series, Art of Relationships. Last week, we talked about comparing, and we were challenged to not give in to the desire to compare, wishing things were different. Comparing impacts our relationships because it leads to envy and resentment. This week I failed. My son didn’t get a hit in his last baseball game and all I could focus on was the fact that all the other kids did. At least I didn’t go home and ask him “what’s wrong with you?” Instead I encouraged him.

I, like you, am a work in progress and I have to say that what we’re looking at this week has had more impact on my relationships than any other topic. I know this sounds exaggerated, but it’s not. This is a life changing relational component and you don’t want to miss it. And if you need another reason to join us, it’s supposed to be hot and we will have the A/C on full blast.

God is doing great things at Mariners Ocean Hills. I love doing life together.

Blessings,

Jeff
