Share the Victories

When a football player scores a touchdown, other players usually come over and they do a celebration dance of some sort. In soccer, when a goal is scored, the players will jump all over each other in celebration. In baseball, it’s high-fives and hitting butts (what?)

Celebrating victories is more than just an expression of joy. It strengthens the bonds of the team. It encourages and energizes others.

I remember going to a Christian conference and hearing about the work done in some of the churches and seeing lives change. I was excited for them, but also motivated to go do that in my community. This wasn’t about bragging, but praising God for what He’s doing in people’s lives.

We don’t’ have to have conferences to do that. We can do that in our churches, our small groups, and with the people we are teamed up with to encourage each other. We can celebrate restored relationships, people who come to faith, victories over addiction, and more.

Today: (Well, really more in the future) Find ways to share the victories.
