When God Surprises Us

My Little League experience this year hasn't been as rewarding. Part of it is the age group is so young (6-8), I seem to end up doing more baby-sitting than coaching. And I haven't felt like I've left any kind of impression or real connection with the boys, and they haven't really progressed with the sport.
So as I drove to the field, I was glad that it was the second-to-last game and I figured I'd gut through it and finish off next week.
Well, God surprised me.
Not only did the kids play their best game ever on the field - and without any dads standing over them in the field, which is allowed - they also connected with me big time throughout the night. They behaved on the bench, they asked me lots of great questions and I was even able to teach them about sportsmanship, using the example of a bad sport on the other team.
There even was a cooling rain on us for a while, almost as if God was showering down his blessings and reminding me to trust in Him as I try to set a Christian example whenever and wherever possible.
Thank you Lord for a great night.
