Never Give Up!

I just need to take a moment to express some frustration with my Red Sox. They are down 2-1 in the ALCS Championship Series. Yesterday was not a proud moment for the Sox! But this morning a thought came to me....There is another game....Don't give up!

How many times do we have moments that we are not proud of? How many times do our throws miss the target or we swing too late? How many times do we miss the fly ball because we didn't want to jump to get it? Maybe we didn't slide because we didn't want to get dirty? How many times do we convince ourselves the other team is better.....having more fun?

What a lesson to learn from baseball! Even when the game seems long and we are getting beat, we must never lose sight of our goal! It is the time to keep our heads up, put on our rally hats, dig deep, and find the courage to just keep trying! We may have to humble ourselves and look to the Coach for help! He will always be there! He will be waiting in the dugout at the end of each inning to offer advice, encourage us, and remind us how strong we really are...then he will send us back out to finish the game! All we can do is take what we have learned, work together as a team, and do our best! We must never give up!
