Youth Basketball
Well, today officially started youth basketball season. Vinny, in his first year at 4th grade, had a tournament in Spring Green today. They played three games, lost the first one and won the next two, giving them 2nd place. Pretty exciting for those boys!
I have had a few people leave comments on wanting to participate in the up coming fundraiser/silent auction slated for this coming February. Please email me at the following address for further inquiry/correspondence: vincesblogbox@hotmail.com.
God is for us, He is on our side, on our bench and wearing our colors. Turn to the sidelines, that's God cheering us on. Look past the finish line; that's Him holding your medal. Listen for Him in the bleachers; He's shouting your name! And if you stumble and fall and haven't the strength to carry on, He'll pick you up and carry you! Too discouraged to fight? He'll pick up your standard and defend you until you recover. God IS for you...for me...for us. Your birthdate is circled on His calendar, your name is a bumper sticker on His car and your picture is in His family album. Isaiah 49:15 says this, 'Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has born?...' What an odd question! All of you mothers, think about that. Can you imagine feeding your infant and then later ask, 'What was that baby's name?' That would be absurd! I have seen some of you care for your children. You stroke the hair, touch the softness of the skin, breath deeply the aroma that can only come from a freshly bathed baby and you sing the child's name. Over and over, using different melodies...different timing...different stylings. Can a mother possibly forget? Not a chance. However, as the passage finishes, God pledges, '...even if she could forget...I will never forget you.'
Zephaniah 3:17 - He will rejoice over you. You will rest in His love; He will sing and be joyful about you.
For the love of Amy - V
