Come Find Me

🏈
It was the beginning of high school football season.
And this came across my IG stories.

Ava, the person who posted these two slides, is my neighbor.
She’s a senior at our local high school.
It’s takes a little courage to be the inviter.
To be the one who reaches out.
The one who says to come.

I went to some of these football games.
And I always thought about Ava’s invitation.
It was meant for other students, I know.
People who wanted to participate but weren’t sure if they had a place.
I always thought about Ava when I went to the games. And even though I’m old, I knew I could sit by her if I needed someone.😉

I almost took her up on it one time!
Instead, I just held the invitation close. Smiled when I thought of it. And decided to be more like this seventeen-year-old inviter.

Today I’m grateful for Ava.
And all the people who have offered the invite to come.
Sit next to me.
Come.
Be a part of the group.
Come.
Be a part of my life.💙✊🏻
