Fly like an Eagle

So this is a silly title but I had to write it.  I LOVE the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS.  I have been a Pats fan as far back as I can remember.  And though I was thoroughly disappointed with the turn out of the superbowl, I am thrilled to see that it was a team of believers that beat us.  I love that the Eagles are using this huge platform to share their faith and to allow others to witness it.  I was absolutely thrilled as each player came up and said that the glory belonged to God first.  So today I want to “Fly like an eagle” And that got me thinking…

We each have a platform that we can use every day every moment every second to bring glory to our God and lead others to Christ.  Do you use that platform?  Do you take every second that you are blessed with to lead others to Him? Sadly I admit that I don’t, but I surely want to.

My oldest was absolutely reduced to tears with the Patriots loss.  And he was so worried about what the kids at school were going to say and how they were going to tease him.  My husband and I tried our hardest to encourage him, to support him and to try to remind him that truly it is ONLY A GAME.  We shared with him how our actions and our responses to others and to criticism and trials speak volumes about who we are as Christians.    He begged to stay home, he didn’t want to be teased.  But we made him go, and he realized that his attitude can affect those around him, and by continuing to be a kind kid they left him alone.

We all come across difficult people and situations, difficult family, difficult jobs, difficult teachers difficult coworkers.  Our response to each of these situations speaks directly to our relationship with our Father.  What does your reaction tell the world about you?
