Game On

Do you still have your “game face” on?

Of course, there will be obstacles and opponents to overcome on the road to victory, but a well-trained athlete takes a defensive stance and keeps his eye on the goal.

The game of life is a short one, so we must run hard, keep talking to our teammates, and stick to the Coach’s strategy.

Keep at it, champ.   Your comeback is coming.

I don’t know about you,

but I’m running hard for the finish line.

I’m giving it everything I’ve got.

No sloppy living for me!

I’m staying alert and in top condition.

I’m not going to get caught napping,

telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.

Something to think about…

  1. Sometimes this running hard feels like I am running in place. I don’t know about you, Lyli, but that is how I feel at times. Then I realize that I have been looking in the wrong direction. I have been running with my eyes down, watching my feet…looking where I step, and maybe even where I have been rather than looking up at the ONE who directs my steps.

    As always, your posts are thought provoking and God-honoring!
    Blessings,
    Dawn

  2. This resonated with me. Totally hit my sweet spot. I was a competitive athlete in college and even now, 20 years later and physically slower and with less stamina, still know that feeling.

    Thanks for inspiring my Sunday.
