INSPIRASUNS

I mentioned here yesterday in this little blog that I’m at one of the two events I plan each year for a special 65 and older golf group. The group started 60 years ago and they are just wonderful to work with and more importantly, to call them friends.

They were in need of an additional player for one of the lady’s groups yesterday so I stepped in. Now mind you I haven’t golfed in like three years, (maybe even longer), but hey I’m game. I golfed with the group on Tuesday, but that was a scramble and we only had to use three of my shots 🙂 . Yesterday was a different deal, I had to play a round of golf as you normally would. Well…to say I had a rough day might be a tad of an understatement. I hit right, and left, dropped my shoulder, duffed balls, and spent many a hole in the sand trap. Yes, it was very frustrating because in the past I’ve been able to hold my own on a course. To say that the ladies in my group were extremely patient and encouraging, well that would be an understatement as well. Finally, the last two holes came together a little better and I at least finished on a high note 🙂 .

At one point during the day, one of the women in my group said, “You need to focus on the good shots, those are what matter, you’ve had some really good shots”. They kept reminding me, “Focus on the good shots”, and I think the more I did just that, the more relaxed I became and the good shots came more frequently.

I thought about this comment last night as I was going to bed, and I think it applies to our lives in general. We need to focus on the good in our lives. We need to focus on the gifts that Father has given us. The more we focus on the “good shots” in our lives, the more we can help others focus on the good they have in their lives, the more we can share that good with others. We need to stop focusing on all the bad, the terrible, the mean, and the ugly because there is enough of that to go around these days. Yes, my friends, we need to focus on the good and help it spread.

Yesterday was a reminder from Father. As usual, I found myself in a place where He wanted to share a message with me. Now I want to pass it on and share it with you. Friends, we all have gifts in our lives, we are all blessed to be children of God. Let’s do our best to “focus on the good shots” we have each and every day, and let’s share those with others.

Have a great day my friends, and thanks so much for your support of this little blog 🙂 .

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
