Adam is playing flag football this fall. And he is SO proud! He loves his jersey (he'll tell you that it's reversible), he loves having a mouthpiece, and he loves doing something that is all about him.
His first practice...
His first game...
Right after I took this picture, one of his coaches hollered, "Adam! Why are you smiling?! This is FOOTBALL!"
He has been waiting "years" to play this game and it looks like it was worth the wait. Hot and sweaty--a little boys dream! Can't wait to see him in action..........
"Mothers and Fathers, when you give your tiny infant a bath, you are washing God's baby. Pause a moment in your busy day and look up to heaven. When you minister to that youngster, can you imagine God smiling down on you? When you fix that hungry six-year-old a peanut butter sandwich, you are feeding one of God's children. Listen carefully - you may hear God laughing in pleasure. When you hug an adolescent whom others have teased mercilessly at school, you are comforting God's teenager. Are those God's tears dampening your shoulder?
In the process of caring and loving, you bring God great pleasure. At that very moment you become his provision, his comfort, his passion... you make daily sacrifices to love this child. Your heavenly Father doesn't miss a second of this sacrifice. He sees it all. He cries with you and he laughs with you and he takes great joy in the good work you are doing."
