Every year they mark a break of the harsh slicing cold air for the crisp refreshing air that brings dew to the grass. The ground softens as we prepare our brackets and ready ourselves with green clothes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I take joy in these simple pleasures. March Madness and Shamrock Shakes have become a tradition for me. They mark a return to simplicity. Win and watch your team advance as you sip on your green peppermint shake.
Reflect on March Madness with me. It is a reset for many times who got in the tournament at large or through their own league play. Miracles happen during March Madness, a tipped in shot or a rolled in three-pointer can make the difference between winning and losing. Spring is the time for miracles as Jesus proves on Easter. A comparison of Jesus’s miracles and basketball miracles might seem like a stretch. I assert that a miracle is a miracle no matter how big or small.
Believe in miracles. Jesus showed us miracles are possible.
He gave sight to the blind, turned water into wine, and fed 5,000 with 5 loaves
of bread and 2 fish. When you see a miracle happen in a game think of Jesus and
his blessed miracles. Remind yourself of God and the power of the Almighty.
There is nothing that is impossible in this world for God. It is that simple. A
miracle can happen before your eyes as you drink a Shamrock Shake watching a
ball roll into the rim for the win.
