What will people remember us for? Are other people’s lives better because we lived? Did we make a difference? Did we use to the fullest the gifts and abilities God gave us? Did we give our best effort, and did we do it for the right reasons?

What's important is not the uniform or the number, and it's not what team you play for or whether anyone else sees your value it's who you are on the inside. And when you're in Christ, that's never going to change.
