a Joining Jesus on His Mission story...
Just last night I had the opportunity to help out with my son's park district basketball team. This wasn't something I was planning on doing until I received an email from his coach a few days ago. The coach explained in the email that there are only 8 kids on the team and that he would seek out any help from parents, especially when it came to having 10 players for scrimmages. He also shared that all of the kids on the team are from my son's school and that he and his family live in our same subdivision. Then at last night's practice I met another dad helping out who also lives in our subdivision. So I just met 2 new guys who live near me with whom I'll be doing life on a regular basis between practices and games. I'll also begin to get to know more kids from my son's school and hopefully their parents. I'm not adding something new to my schedule as I already had the time carved out to watch his practices and games. There is now simply more I can do during that time. I'm excited for this new opportunity of joining Jesus on His mission!
What about you? What story do you have to share? What opportunity may God be nudging you to join Him in? PLEASE SHARE!
