People ask me, “Lawyer, why do you talk about football so much?”

Simple.

I married a man who loves football.

Instead of complaining, I decided to sit down and watch with him.

Before I knew it, I started understanding the game.

Today, football is part of our family language.

The funny thing is that football has taught me lessons I use in marriage and life.

1. Every match has two halves.

If the first half of your marriage, business or life is bad, don’t conclude. The second half may surprise you.

 2. A red card reminds me that lack of self-control can send anyone out of the game.

3. An offside teaches me that moving before the right time can cancel a beautiful goal. Timing matters.

4. Penalties remind me that one careless mistake can become very expensive.

5. VAR teaches me not to judge every situation too quickly. Sometimes you need a second look before reaching a conclusion.

6. The captain cannot win alone. A family succeeds when everyone plays their part.

7. The coach cannot enter the pitch to score. Parents can advise, but children must eventually make good decisions themselves.

8. Even the best strikers miss chances. Failure is not the end.

9. A team that keeps passing the ball achieves more than players who want all the glory. Teamwork builds strong families.

10.  Injury time has taught me never to give up. Some of life’s biggest miracles happen in the extra minutes.

So, when you see me talking about football, I’m not just discussing goals.

I’m talking about life.

I’m talking about marriage.

I’m talking about family.

I’m talking about lessons hidden inside 90 minutes.

Now tell me.

What’s the biggest life lesson football has taught you?

Remember everyone goes home after 90 minutes. Where are you going after this life?

GOD BLESS YOU.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayer

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
