The other day, he was talking about how people are so in love with their team, or their player, or the sport in general. They become so in love with those things that they sacrifice ANYTHING and sometimes EVERYTHING to watch or cheer. I will quote him when he said,
"LIKE your team
LIKE your player
LIKE your sport
LOVE your wife
LOVE your kids.
LIKE everything else."
This doesn't sound as profound as I now type it, but for a moment, it made me stop and think: what do I like that I say I love, and what do I really love?
I LIKE: Oklahoma football
LOST
our house and cars
our cats
worship
facebook
podcasts
my macbook
books
my iTouch and playing Words with Friends on it
sleeping in (never happens) - ok- not getting right out of bed anyway
watching TV and movies with Ang
I LOVE: God (includes all three in one) and His Word
My wife
My kids
My extended family
The friends and mentors God has placed around me in my life
That's all I can think of right now - I may need to add to the list later. But, most importantly, I am stating that I will treat those things I like with the priority they deserve, and will commit to really love those things I love.
Thanks Colin.
