Mesquite Mavericks -- Special Olympics

Yesterday most of the family went out to cheer on my cousin at her basketball tournament! She is the all star on her team, and one her coaches came up to us and said "she is like the Jordan to the team, you know the captain!"

These precious girls played their little hearts and were playing against ALL boys. Their first game was a little rough they let the fear of the boys get the best of them and they lost the game....


But, with a little pep talk from Coach Sam they were back in business and ready for game 2, and won of course!



This team is a special one, and so precious in the eyes of God. Win or loose ALL the kids were so filled with joy and left their heart in the game. They just wanted to play and have fun, that's what they were there for! It was a blessed day for me to be around families and kids who saw life through different eyes. Everyday is a gift a reason to rejoice, a reason to live.... These kids are just like you and me, a child of God, a loved child of God who just see the world through special Jesus eyes.

That's how I want to be! I want to see the world through HIS eyes.
