Colossians 3:21 ” Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.”

We all want the very best for our children.  We also may want them to succeed in areas where we  didn’t…like Sports.  But just because that “mini-me” looks like you,  doesn’t mean he has any desire to be the football , basketball, or baseball star you weren’t back in the day.   Pushing kids into activities they aren’t excited about will only exasperate and infuriate everyone.  Each one of our children are unique  individuals,  with God- designed gifts, talents, and passions.  By building on their strengths, we can foster what the Lord wants for them, rather than what we’d like to live vicariously through them.
