I Found Jesus on the Pickleball Court

My husband, David, is always teasing me about finding shiny things on the ground, like a squirrel.
What I found the other day while being a “cheerleader” during pickleball was not shiny at all. I actually thought it was a rock that someone tied with leather. I picked it up and it was a toy Jesus!


You can imagine the conversation that erupted after that. I said, “Look y’all, I found Jesus” but of course, I’d done that a long time ago-but I used it as a moment to open up conversation about knowing Jesus. Basically, I just said, “Now y’all can’t say you don’t know Jesus.”
It was all in fun, yet I honestly hope all my friends do. We kidded about it and the phrase was repeated several times throughout the game, that we “found” Jesus on the pickleball court.
I got my exercise while retrieving balls that kept going out of bounds.
When we were finished, I took my little toy Jesus home and showed my husband.
He thinks we should glue hiim to our dashboard.
What do you think?
Do you know Jesus? If not, I’d be happy to tell you all about Him. 😉

    1. It is now done.
      Dave noticed today as we were driving back from Dolores that we had a happy Jesus. I guess being a toy, they decided he should be smiling. Its alright though.

  10. Oh my word! If I found that somewhere I would have been over the moon and looking at it clearly as “a sign” from someone I love – including God himself!
