Childhood Relived
As my com padre (Jeff) mourns the Buckeyes loss, I mourn the loss in Big D. I shared a story with my son a few weeks back about how I cried over a football game when I was his age. It was the NFC Championship game between the 49ers & the Cowboys. Joe Montana throws a touchdown pass to Dwight Clark to win the game- AKA "the catch". Yes, I admit it- I cried.
Well, God must have brought that memory to my mind in time for me tell my son because he had the same experience this past Sunday when the Cowboys lost in a very close game. We went off to be alone after the game and he wanted to know every detail about my experience as a child. He went to school the next day and shared with a friend of his (a cowboys fan of course) and the friend told him that he cried as well. All this crying over a football game you say- Yes.
You know, it makes us feel better when we know that someone can relate. When someone knows exactly how we feel. It helped my son. And it's something that helps us all. It's great to know that we have a God that not only knows us, but knows exactly how we feel. He knows every temptation we face because Jesus was tempted in every way we are yet without sin. Isn't it awesome to know that God cares for us that much? It's also great to be part of a church that cares about people and wants all people to come grow with us to become what God wants us to be.
Go Packers or anybody playing the Patriots!!!
