So Baseball has officially begun! Can you feel the excitement in the air as people dust off their gloves getting sunflower seeds in the mouth and humming "Take Me Out To The Ball Game"
Here in MN we cheer for the TWINS-but I'm always amazed at just how quickly the fans fall of the wagon. So far the MN have only won 2 games and the player they are paying A LOT of money for has already broken his leg...boy oh boy!
It seems we live in a culture in which the cheering fades quickly when the losing begins...but I find myself asking..."isn't that when we need the cheering the most?" When we are doing well or when our teams are doing well it's super easy to jump on the band wagon and cheer...Whooo Hoooo! But Yimminy Yackers-when things don't quite go our way, we fall behind or lose a few games-Silence and boos and man "how could they?"
Here is the GOOD NEWS! This life is a journey and we don't have to live it listening to people who cheer us on only when things are good because we have a SAVIOR who cheers us on in the Joyous moments and the Weary moments-in the laughing moments and the weeping moments...we are NOT forgotten!!! (Hebrews 13:5-6)
(Romans 8:31)PLUS Hebrews 12 tells us we have a cloud of witnesses CHEERING US ON...so that we can run this race with PERSEVERANCE! So Cool!!!
How great would it be to be a people of cheering-riding that wagon no matter the circumstance-cheering each other on-sharing a word of encouragement...let us not be silent any longer and please...don't give in to the "boos" of life but instead rise to the challenge of being part of the Whoooo Hooooo in the everyday~
