God put it in my heart to bring the girl's together by having them hug one another everyday. When they see each other in the hall they have to hug...to see this occur and to see the true affection that is growing amongst themselves is why I love coaching. They are truly sharing the love of God that He pours out on them. Also, Haley Cilurso is one of my 3 captains and we had 4 jackets to pass out. Two pitchers each got one and so that left two to be divided amongst the three captains. Haley let it go to Dalana and I let her know how much I appreciated her Godly character and for that I wanted [to reward her.] I think this will be a great lesson for all the girls that when we show humility ( Jesus greatest quality) - honor always follows, AMEN! By the way, one mother came up to me already and said that her daughter was not getting along with another girl on the team but because of the constant hugging, they are actually liking one another according to the daughter, Praise God!What if? What if it was just that simple? Unity through hugs and kindness and generosity and service and smiles... unity through LOVE! The Bible says in John 13:34-35, "love one another; as I have loved you... By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
I remember an old book that said, "Love is... a warm blanket." Can I tell you that real love is... while we were still sinners Christ died for us. I challenge you to love others in the same way, sacrificially giving up your life to preserve another. I challenge you follow the example of our middle school softball players and HUG!
