Today it is basketball, but every day we have opportunities to do things just because they bless our child or our husband. We never know which one of those little blessings will touch them in such a powerful way that they will actually, “arise and call us blessed”. Do what you can, say ”yes” when asked, and look for ways to bless those closest to you.
It is moms vs. the High School girls playing basketball today. This morning I looked up Proverbs 31 and much to my surprise there was no playing of basketball mentioned. Doesn’t this game fall under my godly wife and mother description? Perhaps not in detail, but it does very much in theory. Let me explain, Proverbs 31: 28 says, “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:” One of the women has no experience at BB and is only playing because her eight year old son asked her to. Last week, after a short half hour practice, her son ran up to her with a big hug and said, “Good job, Mom.” He arose and blessed her. She will be blessing him again by playing today. When this game was in the planning, I was going to coach and not play. Not playing was fine by me; running is not very attractive to me these days. Yet, the other coaches informed me I would be playing. In the end, I am glad because when my daughters asked if I was playing and I answered “yes” they cheered, “YEAH!” They arose and blessed me and I plan to return the favor today. Another wife had her husband tell her he was proud of her for playing. He praised her. Rumor has it that many of the husbands are taking off of work early today to come and cheer on their wives and daughters. That certainly makes a wife feel blessed.
