These are some of my ESL students who I teach after school. We had a soccer match versus another ESL class. It was E2 versus E3. We taught the students some basic soccer terms in English and then played a match. My team was pretty confident, but unfortunately we lost 3-2. Some of the boys were distraught that we lost. One of them even apologized to me for losing. I tried to explain to him that it's only a game. This gives me a great intro into our next English class. I will talk about how losing is a part of life and in most soccer matches there is a winner and a loser. I hate losing! So, I totally understand, lol. God has taught me so much about victory and defeat over the years, so maybe it is times like these when I can share some of that wisdom. I'm not saying I like to lose, though. :)
"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory."
Psalm 115:1
IN VICTORY AND DEFEAT!
