Win the Day
Almost any sports fan knows who Drew Brees
is. Brees is the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. He has won many awards individually,
and has led his team to numerous championships.
Not of the game
Away from football, Drew Brees is known for his Christianity, and he is open about his
commitment to God. "I live for God," Brees says. "I
live for the faith that I have in Him. Knowing the sacrifices that Jesus Christ
made on the cross for me and feeling like it’s in God’s hands, all I have to do
is just give my best, commit the rest to Him." Brees shows his love for
Christ by helping others in various communities. His foundation, The Brees
Dream Foundation, has donated over $17,000,000 to several charities and
schools.
Win the day
In his book, "Coming back Stronger,” Drew Brees tells of his
times of adversity and how he had to have faith and persevere. "When you wake up, think about winning the day," said
Brees. "Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about
one day at a time. If you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you
might trip over the molehill right in front of you. Win the day!” What a great
attitude to have! Drew Brees is an amazing Christian role model for so many
people, and hopefully he will always continue being an encouraging leader for
upcoming athletes.
