Competition

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of the word COMPETITION.  I don’t think I have ever thought of myself as a competitive person, but then realize I am.  

My eight-year-old grandson came over the other day and got out the chess board.  He was determined to beat me, and I was determined to beat him.  He would make a move that surprised me, and then I would checkmate him.  What I found during our competition was that we never laughed so hard!  We spent a wonderful afternoon in a friendly competition. 

So, Competition isn’t always bad.  Let’s remember that the greatest gift of competition is not to win, but, to quote my grandson, “Have fun!”

Have a blessed day!
