“remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” (‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ESV)

All,

This sticks out because of the “steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ”. We gave up complaining as a family for lent and it’s been a eye-opening experience to see how often I would have complained. Most of the time I can just think about something else, but the tough ones require hope in Christ. Please pray that we and our friends put our hope in Christ all day today. Please pray for Jeremy and Gary’s group as they are forming.
