The Coach's Wife

Through two seasons of fall football, I have been the coach's wife. 

Now, as spring soccer season is in full swing, I find myself again 'The Coach's Wife,' 

cheering for the team and supporting their coach from the sidelines.

Joining others, we help to create a place of encouragement 

where teams build up one another on and off the field.

The leauge is called Upward.  Our church participates in this sports ministry 

every fall with football and every spring with soccer,
and our family has been blessed over the years

to be a part of this ministry.

...continuing my gratitude listing...
