Several years ago I accepted a challenge. Guys are good at stepping up when we are challenged with something beyond ourselves. A friend suggested that we must find a way to invest ourselves in other people's lives. You know find a way to be a servant.
Hang with me for a short story here that comes full circle. When I accepted that challenge it made sense to teach it to my kids. They took to it well. Serving, caring, even coaching, and mentoring. I'm proud of them all because they have made a difference in lives in our community.
Coaching comes naturally to them. A couple of years ago one of my sons started, accidentally, training young athletes in speed and agility. He's good at it. Once again this summer he has been training a few. Today he had to work all day. So guess who got to serve?
There is something special about being able to invest in the lives of others. I really do believe it is exactly what Jesus had in mind for us. Because this was what he had in mind for himself. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
Let me give you a challenge: find a way to invest in others for their benefit and betterment.
Today: mile warm up, dynamic stretch, stadium stairs (10 sets), agility ladder drills, Crazy core, and stretching (then added another mile for me).
