Last week the school I grew up in won the Illinois State High School Basketball Championship. This was a huge deal for our area. I graduated with 40 people in my class, so needless to say my school was small. The thing I noticed was the tremendous amount of team spirit everywhere I went. People were talking and excited and so proud of our Meridian team. It was contagious. What if in life as adults we were like that....on our feet cheering when something good happened to someone we knew, telling everyone around us about the people who mattered in our lives; wearing our hearts on our sleeves, completely sold out for a common cause. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I don't know about you, but I'd like to be a part of that team.

I'd love to be a part of that team too: cheering each other on in life, encouraging & lifting up in prayer when someone is down. I suppose I am, if I want to be a part of the beautiful work of the body of Christ. Thank you for the encouraging reminder to be who I am 'in him.'
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful world it would be. An amazing thought! Welcome to SITS! I'm new there, too. I'll be back to see what you're up to!
ReplyDeleteI'm just randomly stopping by from SITS. Welcome. And I agree. It would be great to cheer for everyone all the time...for a common good.
