Rain cancellation

Our football game was canceled a while back due to rain.  It was rather disappointing as a coach – considering we had practiced so hard the Monday before.  What do we do when our hopes are rained out by the thunderstorms of life?

How important are the temporal things of this life?  Does all of life depend upon the score of a Saturday afternoon football game?  It amazes me to see how quickly I can be distracted by the moment – easily forgetting about what is truly significant.  Are we living our lives for the eternal?

Football games will be canceled, thunderstorms will roll; but as long as we have breath in our lungs, we have a greater purpose for existence.  It’s funny, my boys seemed to be more okay with the cancellation than I did.  Is it possible that children sometimes have a better grasp on what is truly important than their adult parents?

Just another lesson from football.
