Endurance In the Community
vs. discouragement
Withstanding stress to do my best
To practice Endurance, I will: 
- put my whole heart into everything I do
- accept both instruction and feedback
- not let small obstacles deter me from my bigger goal
- recognize progress in all its forms
- not be a “quitter”
Reach Out
Our hearts are broken over the senseless violence that has been invading the news lately. We can imagine that the pain the victims’ families are enduring is indescribable. We feel compelled to do something, but what? I’m sure you’ve promised prayers or well-wishes of support, but we need to do more. We can have an impact on our community here and perhaps prevent another massacre. We can be aware of those around us and make sure that our family, friends, and neighbors feel connected to someone. This isn’t just reacting when we hear of an issue but actively working to reach out to those around us and authentically connecting with them. We can’t be best friends with everyone, but we can make it a regular practice to be aware of the needs of others and respond. Helping others bolsters our own Endurance, too. What can you do to help those you don’t know? – volunteer or financially support organizations that positively impact your community. Don’t be shy – invite others to join you.
What can you do to help your community thrive, not just Endure?
