My All-Star

I was listening to K-Love today and heard about their all-star contest.  Who is the most encouraging and influential person you know?  Tell them about that person and they could win a prize.  I immediately thought of my person and how what an amazing all-star they are.  So here is my 250 word entry about my All-Star!

My husband David is my encouraging and influential all-star because he plays so many positions with all his heart as, Pastor David.  He’s played many positions-the good, the bad, and the ugly.  I’ve seen him play janitor, scrubbing toilets and trashcans.  I seen him play maintenance man, screwing in light bulbs and fixing broken chairs.  I’ve seen him play lawn care man, sweating bullets to mow and pick up trash.  I’ve seen him play worship leader to children, teaching them to dance, sing, and raise up hands of praise for the Lord.  I’ve seen him play teacher to students who have never heard the words of Jesus and are desperate for the Living Water.  I’ve seen him play the hard role of protector for kids who are being abused.  I’ve seen him play the role of disciplinarian to those who are bullying others.  The most influential position I’ve seen him play is father.  God hasn’t yet given us our own children, but he has given us many spiritual children.  I’ve seen David step in and play the role of father to children of all ages who are physically, mentally, and emotionally fatherless.  I suppose the reason he’s an all-star is because he always plays his positions out of overflow!  His best position is as a disciple of Christ!  The Lord is his first priority everyday, and it influences everything he does and everyone he meets, especially me.
