We Have You Covered

Today I took my regular walk to my park bench. "My bench," is at the halfway point in my walk and sits in the middle of a busy park. I sit and soak up the Sun and do some "people watching."

I watched kids play soccer. Eight and Nine-Year-Olds, dressed in brightly colored uniforms, were trying their best to get that ball in the net. Screaming parents cheered their kids and went crazy when the rare goal was made. The "Avengers" won. When the game ended I noticed something quite remarkable. The parents of both teams created a "human tunnel." Facing each other the parents held their arms up and the team members went under the arms of their families. It was as if they where saying, "no matter what happens we have you covered."

What a great symbol of family support and encouragement.

It's what we all need to know that no matter what happens there is someone that has us covered.
