Watching the Greenbay Packers w/ Trevor is not fun. He's very emotional, that's his team. He loves everything about them. So when he was home he had to go to his grandparents house to watch the game. He would yell at the tv, throw things, jump up on the couch, it was to much. So let's talk about the Packers-Cowboys game last night. There was yelling at the tv, turning the channel b/c, "I can't take this, this is ridiculous," deciding that, "the Packers are really Americas team b/c they are owned by the people." Now you might be thinking, "oh Trevor came over to watch the game." No, that would be his dad!!! Right away I knew where Trevor got it, it was very obvious. Now I could care less about football. I don't know much about it, in all honesty I don't really have a favorite team. I could care less!! But last night I found myself so worried about this game. I'm not even kidding, before I knew it I was praying for these Packers players. I didn't even realize I was doing it. Until the Cowboys intercepted the ball & Monte was not very happy & I found myself feeling anxious, my heart was racing, my stomach was in knots, & I realized, "I've been praying for these people!?" I don't know them, I'm never going to know them, & does God really care about the outcome of this game? I mean I know He loves the players & all those involved, but does it really matter if the kicker has enough strength to make this 51 yard field goal? I don't know!! But I was praying for him!! Then I was thinking prayer is important no matter what we're praying about, it's communication w/ God! Important!! I remember one time somebody said to me, that "God goes through our prayers like mail & throws the junk out." I don't believe that, I believe if it's important to us--it's important to God. Working w/ kids I have prayed for animals, deer hunting season, school work, spending time w/ friends, families, everything. There were times when I thought, "hhmm--well okay!" But it's important & it's important for kids, all of us, to know that God loves for us to pray to Him. It's like if you have kids, you want them to talk to you, about whatever is on their minds. So no matter what it is, no matter how trivial it might seem, if you want to talk to God about it--do it!!!Go to Him & let Him know (even though He does!) what's on your mind. I know you'll be do glad you did. Even after I thought, "why am I praying for this game?" I thought, "oh well, it's time well spent & words well said!" Here's a verse or 2 to just remind you to always pray, about everything!! 1Thess 5:16-18- Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus.
