Main Takeaways

·     From Kari, “It's easy when you get into that space of comparison and and not enough to discount those gifts. And and I agree with you those also should be our treasures and more beyond that we should be those who receive treasures we should be seeking and asking for. I need the gift of patience today. I need the gift of love today. I need, you know, especially if we know we're going into a situation that's going to challenge something. We can ask for those things. And God may be can strengthen us in those areas where or where maybe we need a little bit more help.”

·     From Tamara, “I'm thankful for that reminder that every day, it's that recommitment. It's that vigilance, to put [God] first--to focus on treasures that truly matter and to ask for his help to do that.”
