Little League Is Fun

I’ve got 3 boys in little league right now, and with 2 games and a practice every week for each of them, it’s crazy! However, I’m having a blast watching my boys grow, learn, and develop their skills. They’re having fun playing, but to be honest, I’m having more fun watching them.

Yesterday I got to pitch the last 2 innings for Zach’s coach-pitch team, and we had scored a bunch of runs for a come from behind victory. I’m not saying it was the pitching, but

At Jake’s first game he got the game winning hit, a double down the line to score two runs that won the game. He got the game ball. I was so proud for him I cried. This was huge for him!

Isn’t it more fun being proud for others than ourselves? When we become proud of ourselves we’re set for a fall. When we are proud for others we dream big dreams for them, we strive to encourage them, and we live beyond ourselves. As a pastor, I always want to be proud for God, and proud for the people of Palm Valley Church. I want to encourage them, dream big for them, and celebrate when God does incredible things in and through their lives. Sometimes I even cry.
