Two best friends in baseball. The one little boy cheering the loudest, as he rooted for his friend to win the award. This wasn’t a competition with him and his best pal. This was a celebration as he wanted his best friend to take home the award. His smile even bigger than his friends, who won it. Oh, to have that kind of support and encouragement! We must always strive to be like this towards one another. Always wanting the best, as we uplift each other. Though I couldn’t help but to be reminded that this is how God is towards us. He’s our biggest fan, rooting for us, even more at times than we are for ourselves! Wanting us to win that ultimate prize, to be with Him someday in Heaven. May we lovingly encourage and uplift one another. May we be reminded of God’s love and how he is always rooting us on the loudest! That He is our greatest friend. The one little boy gladly accepts his award, as his best friend celebrates his best pal’s victory.
