Yesterday was my son's last soccer game in his first soccer season. He played hard, did his best, made his team (not to mention his parents ) proud, and excited all the team parents. He scored all 3 goals for his team!! It's so precious to see and hear his humility. He never bragged; he was just as excited that the ball went in the goal as the rest of his team.
His coach gave every player a trophy, not because they won anything (at this level they don't even keep score officially). He gave it to them just for playing all season and having fun.
As we were celebrating his great season later over ice cream, Elijah said, "This trophy is my treasure, but God's treasure is my soul." AMEN, little brother!!
My hubby and I then shared with our children that whatever they do, they should do it to glorify God. And remember that in all you do, you are God's treasure. |
