Hi John, sorry for the lost of your dad. I also lost my dad last month. It was not easy, but with family and friends by your side it helps you get through our grievance process. My thought and prayers to you and your family. Have a blessed day my brothers 🙏.

That’s beautiful Amen! I pray this morning Father God for guidance and courage for myself and my brothers in this app. To have the ability to see your path and pursue what you have created us to do. For your honor and glory. Amen!

Romans 12:10 says, “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” (ESV). Last week I experienced this as 2 men from my church drove over 500 miles (round trip) to sit with me at my dad’s funeral. What a testimony and witness on how to go that extra mile (or 499) and a challenge for me (and now you) to show honor to others. This is how we pursue, love and carry each other’s burdens. Be strong men!
76/365: The Work Starts Now
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. ~ Galatians 6:2
Jesus taught us to serve others. He addresses this in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew saying, "go the extra mile".
He says we aren't supposed to do just enough to get by... but dig in and double down on helping one another.
If you are waiting to get your own life straight before helping someone else, then you are missing the blessing that will help your troubles the most - which is serving others.
Start by praying for the courage to take action. And get your brothers covered in prayer.
