Lessons of Life from Team USA

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: February 21, 2010

What can we learn from Shaun and Lindsey?…

That red-haired kid named White won gold
He's witty, coy and brashly bold.
This half-pipe king's not bored with snow.
I love his "joie de vivre."

And what about that Lindsey Vonn?
We thought her hopes for gold were gone.
But she proved when you push through pain,
it's downhill all the way.

The spirit of Team USA
inspires us to "find a way."
When circumstances spell defeat,
let's choose another word.

Within God's Word we read the same.
How faith can fuel a dying flame.
It gives us eyes to focus on
what others cannot see.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
