4、 perhaps he,d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try

5、 out for the football team as a walk-on. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster (花名册) because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they bad

6、ly needed.The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college

7、, but he never got to play in a game.It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach,

8、 My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don,t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday. /zSaturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter

9、, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. Coach, please let me play. Ive just got to play today

10、, said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. All right,he said, “You can go in Before long, the coach, the players and everyone

11、 in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game,

12、 this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young

13、man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone The coach came to him and said, Kid, I can,t believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” Th

14、e young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!Like the athlete* s father, God is always there cheering for us. He,s always reminding us to go on. He,s even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. GOD has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for HIM for Hes watching us in the game of life!
