Today, we enjoyed the opportunity to watch a Swim Meet. I feel impressed to share a couple of observations about things I saw at 'the meet'. On two different occasions, during a particular heat, I watched an individual have an especially difficult time with their swim using a specific stroke. They were much slower than the other competitors but they were still required to finish the race as to not let down their teammates or family who were there to support. It was fun to watch all of the supporters as these individuals finished even through difficulty.
The other observation was the mass amounts of people there to support children, grandchildren, and even friends. I always like to see support from those that care the very most.
Life, in many ways, is just that--support for one another. I love to see love extended from one person to the next. It is a wonderful sight.
Our family was there to 'cheer on' our two nieces and nephew. We enjoyed the time we spent there just like everybody else who came to encourage and cheer for those who they love.
And the night was complete at the sight of beautiful fireflies in the warm, humid air of St. Louis, Missouri.
What a time!
