COMES IN HANDY TO BE A MOM

Last night, our daughter Eden’s softball team won the conference championship. Eden had two hits and three RBI’s in the first game, which was thrilling for her as she had been in a slump, and a nice hit in the second one. Every girl seemed to find a way to contribute.

The dads were happy.

Then, in the latter part of the second game, with us ahead 3-1, the other team suddenly got two girls on base with their cleanup hitter at bat. The winning run was at the plate! Man, it was stressful!

We moms in the stands did what moms do. We started our Lamaze breathing.

Huff! Hoo! Huff! Hoo! Huff! Hoo!

No doubt energized by our support, our fabulous, All-State pitcher struck her out, and the next girl, too. We won the game.

The moms were happy, too.

Prayer request: The family of God gains strength by being together, and that’s what’s happening this weekend. There’s a family reunion going on for my friends Barb and Tom and their siblings and parents. It’s associated with the Nebraska-Kansas football game. We pray for safe air travel for those coming from afar, especially Barb. Father God, we know You are pleased when the bonds of love draw people closer together. Thank You for this blessing for them. You make life so easy: all we have to do is believe in Jesus, and love one another. (1 John 3:23)
