🔭 October's Virtue of the Month: Foresight
Foresight is the virtue of thinking ahead and making wise choices today for a better tomorrow.
Whether in the classroom, on the field, or at home, we grow in foresight when we consider the consequences of our actions and seek God’s guidance in our decisions.
