Good Morning, God,
We want to thank you this day for all the headlines involving the extra-curricular activities for our young people and their parents and friends. We are so encouraged when the stories tell about the team's efforts, the winning and losing, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
We give thanks for the patience of the coaches and directors. We are grateful for the individual skills learned and the team efforts put forth. We admire the discipline and perseverance learned and practiced, and the beauty of a sport well-played or a piece of marching band music that paints a beautiful picture. We give thanks that the wins don't come easy, that the gold ratings aren't automatic-they come the old-fashioned way-they have to be earned.
God, who created our bodies so we can play sports and music, we are thankful for the gifts and skills for both
In Jesus' name, Amen.
