Since coming to WABC sports have become a part of my life! Not for the reasons you would think though. A large number of our leadership members are diehard Redskin Fans. My husband is not!! lol Somehow he became an Eagles Fan (with no persuasion from this Philly born girl). There is constant ribbing back and forth between him and several of the Redskin fans. During football season the text between all of us are hilarious!! Over the years this has created a bond between what should be rival viewpoints. Instead it's helped us to reinforce the concept of team ministry. And idea that we are all in this together! The game this year between The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Panthers gave us an opportunity to cheer for the same team (well most of us).
I once saw a sign a pastor posted on his wall that truly spoke to me about what a team really looks like. I even screen shot the photo to remember it when working in ministry. It said the best teams are made up of a bunch of nobodies, who love everybody, and serve anybody and don't care about becoming a somebody!
If more of us remembered this motto in ministry imagine how much more we could accomplish? After all we are all nobodies that God created into somebody!
We had a great time that evening and even though the team lost...our "TEAM" won because we've learned to go all in for the cause together!!
Of course next season Marc and I will be back to cheering on our Eagles against those "dead skins"! HAHA! And this time we will have our gear on!!!
