E-TEAM

5/18/11

Most people know about A-Teams. They are NOT the benchwarmers or background folks. A-Teams are the ones front and center who go in and get the job done---they are the “get the glory” guys. Even the “A-Team” 80s TV show with Mr. T focused on using any method to get results. I’m sure A-Teams have their place.

I, however, will take my E-Team any day. My “E-Team” is made up of friends who are always there for me. My encouragers. These last few months they have been the ones who follow the Isaiah 35:3 verse to “encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.”


Much like the A-Team, they also get the job done---- but their focus is not for vain glory. Their focus is to serve. To do unto others---in word and deed.

My E-Team allows me to see God’s goodness through their acts of kindness. They enrich my life and fill my heart with gratitude.

Think of no other greatness but that of the soul, no other riches but those of the heart. John Quincy Adams (Project Wisdom, 5/18)

Whose E-Team are you on? Is there someone you need to encourage today? Encouragement from you will richly fill their heart.
