NO WORD TODAY (just a speech)

HIGH FIVE!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, I want to talk to you about motivation and determination, two powerful forces that drive us to achieve our goals and overcome obstacles. As I reflect on these concepts, I am reminded of a simple yet profound image that encapsulates the essence of these qualities: a coffee mug, a coffee maker, and a mouthguard.

At first glance, these items may seem unrelated, but they tell a story of balance, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence. Let’s start with the coffee mug. For many of us, coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a symbol of our daily routine, a ritual that kickstarts our day and fuels our productivity. The coffee mug represents our commitment to showing up every day, ready to tackle whatever challenges come our way. It reminds us that motivation often begins with small, consistent actions that set the tone for our success.

Next, we have the coffee maker. This device is a testament to the importance of preparation and consistency. Just as a coffee maker brews a perfect cup of coffee through a series of precise steps, our journey towards our goals requires careful planning and unwavering dedication. The coffee maker teaches us that motivation is not a one-time event but a continuous process that demands our attention and effort. It is through this process that we build the habits and routines that sustain our determination.

Finally, we come to the mouthguard. This piece of equipment is essential for athletes, protecting them from injury and allowing them to perform at their best. The mouthguard symbolizes resilience and the willingness to face adversity head-on. In our own lives, we encounter obstacles and setbacks that test our resolve. The mouthguard reminds us that determination is about safeguarding our dreams and pushing through the pain, knowing that every challenge we overcome brings us closer to our goals.

Together, these three items create a powerful narrative about the interplay between motivation and determination. The coffee mug, coffee maker, and mouthguard each play a unique role in our journey, illustrating the importance of routine, preparation, and resilience. They remind us that success is not a matter of luck but the result of deliberate actions and an unwavering commitment to our aspirations.

As we navigate our own paths, let us draw inspiration from this image. Let us embrace the daily rituals that fuel our motivation, plan meticulously to ensure our progress, and face challenges with the resilience of an athlete wearing a mouthguard. By doing so, we can harness the power of motivation and determination to achieve our dreams and make a lasting impact.

Thank you.

A READING FOR YOU…

1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts.

19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his bidding,
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
    you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.
