Don’t Let Football Determine Your Happiness

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."Philippians  4:4

This is the midst of football season in the US and if you are a die hard fan which I gave many friends who truly are, don’t let how your team is doing determine your daily outlook on life. Many homes also are divided during this time which is hard for me to fathom since my husband and I watch two games a year, Rose Bowl and Super Bowl. 

I guess what I am saying is don’t let your daily happiness be guided by the gridiron statistics and when your team is doing great resist the urge to ram it into people’s faces as that is a sure way to lose friends. 

Be thankful each and every day for life and realize there is more to life than football so don’t become depressed when your team is at the bottom of the charts. Enjoy your life, enjoy your game whatever it is and be kind to others whichever side they take. 

PRAYER: Father help me to realize my hope is not in day to day life with its ups and downs but is in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
