A strong support system

 I do not know how we competed as athletes back in our day! We played basketball with canvas shoes. We had no muscle compaction sleeves. We used wooden bats in baseball with no batting gloves. We played on dirt fields and concrete courts. We had no air conditioning our gyms. We played pick up tackle football without pads and helmets. We didn't have personal trainers or even instant highlight films on YouTube!

Yet we had each other. We had parents, coaches, teammates and friends who supported us! What about us today? Do we have a strong support system?

Whether it is marriage, sports, school, just life in general everyone needs support! We all need some encouragement and yes, some correction along the way. No matter the age or level of maturity, we all need someone. 


Who has your back? That person speaks to us in love. He or she is able to empathize with us. They encourage us to dream dreams. Do we have that person or that team?

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. (Romans 12:15)
