This is a true story that was told in my church today,so I thought u all would like to read it.

Jonathan's Mother died when he was very young,so his Father raised him.Always enjoying football together,Jonathan wanted to play on his school's team.Small in size,the coach didn't let him play very often ,but his Father never failed to attend a game.

One Day,Jonathan went to the Coach before practice & explained his Father had died that Morning.The Coach expressed his sorrow & said not to worry about practice or the game on Saturday.

Saturday came & so did Jonathan.He went to the Coach & begged to be put into the game.Their team was already losing badly,so the coach decided to put him in.Play after play the losing team gained yardage until the teams were tied.It was the final play of the game when Jonathan caught the ball & ran it in for a touchdown.After the game,the Coach ran up to Jonathan & said "Kid,I can't believe it.U were Fantastic!How did u do it?"He looked at the Coach ,With tears in his eyes & said "Well u knew that my Dad died,but did u know that my Dad was blind?"The young man swallowed hard & forced a smile,"Dad came to all my games,but today was the first time he could see me play & I wanted to show him I could do it."
