Unfortunately very few people escape discouragement. I heard a story the other day about a baseball game. The score was 14 to nothing. The players on the losing team understandably appeared dejected and somber, except for one player. He was sitting on the bench with a big wide grin on his face. When asked if he wasn’t discouraged, he replied, “Heck no, we haven’t even been to bat yet”. You gotta love it! . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/01/keep-the-faith-3/
