  • 2020 VS Reflection
    Virtue = Strength VIRTUE OF THE WEEK INTRODUCTION Our virtue this week is REFLECTION - The strength to give serious thought and consideration to the important things in life. Our fast-paced world tempts us to give importance to superficial things, things that pass away in moments and to neglect the most important things in life, the things that lead to eternity. A wise, mature and virtuous person always takes time to REFLECT on their purpose in life, their goals, the blessings they have received. Let’s do everything we can to help one another REFLECT on what is truly important this week. PRAYER Thank You, Lord, for all of the many blessings You have given us. Our health, our abilities and talents, our family, our freedom. May we never forget that all of these gifts are from You. Fill our hearts, minds and souls with a proper gratitude and help us to REFLECT on Your blessings often. Does anyone have any prayer intentions? Who wants to lead us in a prayer? STORY APPLES AND SEEDS Take an apple and cut it in half. We can count the number of seeds in one apple. But we cannot count the number of apples in one seed. One tiny seed can grow into a mature apple tree that can produce up to 400 pounds of apples per year, grow over 40 feet high and live over 100 years. At the same time, apple trees take four to five years to produce their first fruit. “Food” for thought if you will. Virtue = Strength QUESTIONS Life is so busy and hectic, we often forget to reflect on the important things in life.
