1. READ What Gave Addison Fresh Purpose
“I was talking with a friend about a concept I had learned from a wise seasoned man in our community. The concept was to pre-assign values (like humility or generosity or empathy) before every conversation we have with others. It was like a lightbulb went off for my friend, who quickly used the concept in a very difficult and stress-inducing conversation. He set the values in advance and proceeded to have the conversation. Watching God work through that seemingly small and insignificant connection was wind in my sails!”

Amen.
