Yes the Saints came MARCHING IN! ... On 2/8/10, the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl 31-17 over the Indianapolis Colts. This is more than a football win. This is a reality check on tenacity of a a people, who were written off after they were downed by Hurricane Katrina. The people spoke up when there was talk of moving the Saints out of state. Then the coach stepped forward and hired Drew Brees, a one time promising quarterback, who due to a damaged shoulder, lost his contract. Drew and his wife chose to go with the Saints, for two reasons, yes, to be the winning team, however, even more so, to become part of a winning community who would NOT GIVE UP! This was a WINNER for ALL THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS!
Perhaps each one of us can take time to reflect on times in our own lives when we ALMOST gave up ... yet SOMETHING moved us forward and we knew there was a Power in us that could DO it for us. I am reminded of one of my favorite scriptures: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do NOT become discouraged and we do NOT give up!" [GALATIANS 6:9]
May each one of us "LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!
In Love,
Rev. Sandra
