‘Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.’ ~Jane Addams

Sport was a clear winner yesterday with one of the most exciting finishes to the Premiership in recent years. The spotlight was on two key games all afternoon: Sunderland v Man Utd and Man City v QPR. Both games started at the same time and on 90 minutes Man Utd were winning and Man City loosing. The Premiership title was heading to Man Utd. On 91 minutes Man City equalised but still was not enough for them. Then incredibly on 94 minutes they scored again through Aguero. It was a finish that no one could even have come close to predicting. For Man City fans their neighbours have dominated for years but now they could celebrate. There has been much analysis about the game but the key message through it all is never give up. Somehow the Man City players kept battling, working together and fighting for the dream they so wanted. In the end their win was richly deserved and they held it together when others thought they were falling apart. There are many stories in our community about people who never give up, who believe that things can happen, who hold it together despite huge obstacles and who trust that everything will work out. The TV cameras and newspaper stories don’t pick up on these stories but they rumble throughout every community. We all can play a part in keeping these stories rumbling. It’s good to know that when all seems lost there is still hope. Just ask any Man City fan!!
