About twelve to fourteen kids gathered from the neighborhood to play softball. An appointed captain tossed the bat to the other team’s appointee and both hands, one over the other, went up the bat. This method decided who had first pick for a teammate out of those around. One would pick from the group and then the other. I never considered how the last two chosen felt about their lack of talent. Now sixty years later, I feel bad about that scenario.
What about those who always feel outside, neglected, unappreciated and lacking, who are only grudgingly chosen to be a part? As kids, they were not given much thought. Now that we are adults, shouldn’t we be more considerate?
Philippians 4:5
Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Titus 3:2
to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.
Give it some thought and consider those who are less fortunate in the game of life.
