Optimism

As I was driving home from work one day, I stopped to watch a local Little League baseball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was. "We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.

"Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very discouraged."

"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet."

 

MAY YOU KNOW THE JOY THAT COMES WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD WHO LOVES YOU…ALL THE TIME!!@

 

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

 

SEE YOU SUNDAY….
