Enthusiasm

Have you ever considered the infectious nature of enthusiasm?  Those of you who know me, know that I enjoy sports, but I am, by no means, a sports enthusiast.  Imagine my surprise when I found myself surrounded by avid football (soccer) fans in the city of Blantyre today.  The Malawi national team, aka the Flames, played DRC for a possible spot in the World Cup 2010. 

The team stayed at the same hotel where we are staying.  Kamuzu Stadium, where they played, is very near the hotel as well.  Everyone was excited as game time neared, and I began to find myself a little excited also.  At the conclusion of the game, Malawi had won 2-1.  I was thrilled!  People shouting, horns honking, sirens blaring - all elevated the level of excitement.   By the time the team returned to the hotel, I found myself discussing a sport I know very little about with people I don't even know.  Even now sounds of revelry can be heard outside.  CONGRATULATIONS team Malawi!

Consider sharing your FAITH with a level of excitement.  Consider sharing with others, though you may know very little about them.  As a Christian, you have a message worth sharing.  Catch the enthusiasm.....I hear it is contagious!
