Thanks for visiting, Vanessa! It’s such a good thing to be reminded of…that no matter what, we are loved and valued in His eyes. Blessings and happy Tuesday!

Oh Mel..how glad I am to have stopped by and taken a second to read this post!! I was never picked last as a kid (though I was never picked first, either), but I feel it happening more and more (or maybe, yes, I sometimes just imagine that it’s happening) as an adult. It is so vital to remember that, though humans may not choose us, may not want us, He has chosen us and has redeemed us, and whether or not we belong here on earth, we DO belong with Him, a.l.w.a.y.s. <3
Love to you today sweet lady!!

Ugh- I hated playing team sports in middle school. I was always picked last. 6th & 7th grade were a few of the hardest years of my life. Almost 20 years later and I still have visible scars. I’m so thankful for God’s assurance that He loves me and that I am valuable to Him. {Visiting from Vanessa @ Hearts on Guard}

I’ve never played scooter hockey, but I would love to be on your team. I still have moments where I am picked last, and feel like I don’t belong. I am so thankful that even so, I am precious in His sight. Have a beautiful week my friend!

Good for you, friend…that’s awesome! I was an elementary teacher for six years, and that was something I was SO aware of…and as much as possible, I made sure no one was excluded. There were times it happened because I couldn’t have control over everything, but I mixed things up as much as possible. It always made me smile when I’d see two students who would have normally never chosen to work together end up as friends…and it happened often. Such a good reminder to me that everyone has value. Hope you have a great week! Blessings!

I think that’s a good reminder…it’s going to happen to every kid at some point, even if it’s not in a p.e. class. But like you said, if our kiddos KNOW they are precious to Him, maybe it won’t hurt quite so much. Thank you, Katherine! Have a great week!

Me, too…though I have to admit that my stomach already turns a little when I think about my daughter going into p.e. classes like this. (She’s three.) Another reason I should continually remind and teach her Who is is that she belongs to. Hope you have a great week, Heather…blessings!

So true…it IS a daily thing for me to choose to see myself the way He does. I love this reminder…thank you for sharing, friend! Blessings on your week!
