Celebrate

A lot of wins today in parenting, soccer, relationships, and Ticket to Ride.

Most days aren’t full of wins like these and I’m humbly grateful for all the gifts God has provided me.

I spotted a young Muslim man on my soccer team praying before stepping onto the pitch pre-kickoff and after the halftime break. It reminded me to do my own quiet gratitudes before we started the second half. I quickly realized the list is infinite, even isolated to the context of soccer.

I played the rest of that game and another and spent time with family outside and inside. I smiled through it all. The blessings piled on top of the gratitudes.

I celebrate my wins and I recognize that I would have none of this without God.
