TOBI Says, How about the Final Four?

-

There are already many sad basketball players and their fans. What now?

After a team loses their game, there were many reasons for the loss. Some were excuses, some were injuries to key players and some were to better teams. At least they were better on that day.

The immediatel­y media went right to the players and the coach for their comments. The emotions were difficult; sad, angry, mad and frustratio­n.

The smart coaches asked the media to wait a few minutes to get their answers. Doing that allowed the emotions to cool down, and the individual­s gave better and more thoughtful answers. They then had a better perspectiv­e game.

This is true for life also. Each person faces some difficult times in life. Emotions cause immediate reactions. As time goes by, the individual has a better perspectiv­e on the issue and life.

Some issues are very serious. Even those are handled better after some time for emotions to heal. on the Other issues turn out to be insignific­ant. Each person grows as a person as they deal with problems in life. Each must ask themselves, “What is the truth?” Then they choose how important each conflict is to them.

Winning a basketball game is important at the time. As you always hear the parent tell their child to do their best. But that is just impossible to do all the time. But in the end, it still just a game. But it is always more fun to win.

A Christian should learn that the spiritual issues are much more important than the daily issues that they face. How about your final.
