From the Heart of Treazure

Fall is my favorite time of year. Each fall, I am always captiva-ted by the beauty that nature displays in the boldness and brightness of the leaves. As I observe the colors of crimson, golden yellow, and burnt orange, I am led to embrace the warm, yet crisp air that accompanies the falling of the leaves. Fall is a time to embrace a season of change, when things fall away in preparation for the next season of rest which prepares us for a season when things begin to bloom. Fall is also football season and many of us look forward to the weekends when we can indulge in high school football on Friday nights, Pop Warner and collegiate games on Saturdays, and the NFL games on Sundays that expand into Monday night football. It is interesting how caught up some of us become in the teams we support as our own. We are happy when our team wins, but we are angry and disappointed when our team experiences a loss; but never the less, we support them to the end (at least for those of us who are die-hard fans).

I often ponder over how marriage is like football, a team sport. As we all know, there is no I in team so that means that each of us has to work together, along with our spouse, for the betterment of the team. God is the owner and Head Coach of each team; the husband and wife in every marriage each has a position as well, as captain and co-captain of the team. If we allow the Head Coach to guide and call each play from His play book (The Holy Bible), then each team can claim a championship!

Find the Jewel in You, See the Gem in Him!
