We were so heavily involved in the elite youth sports track before quitting cold turkey... my mind and heart are just busting with thoughts and "Amens" as I read. I wish I could just transfer my brain to others so that they could download, return when done, and not make the same mistakes. For years, we gave away our family focus and identity while covering that ugly truth with a veneer of "balance." Man, if I could have those hours and dollars back. It wasn't worthless. There was much of value... but it came at a HUGE PRICE. And we have had to HEAL.<br /><br />Your post jogged my memory of something we did while we were still involved. It was our family banner that we lugged to a hotel and hung up over the kids beds that reminded them of the real team: God and family. Thought this might be a nice idea for other families out there who travel often with sports and are trying to find ways to refocus on God and family while they hustle: http://mamaslittleditty.blogspot.com/2009/03/if-we-win-we-praise-him-if-we-lose-we.html<br /><br />God bless and thanks for writing this!melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-9218026480701064962013-07-23T10:30:57.477-07:002013-07-23T10:30:57.477-07:00I love that quote that your family is your first t...I love that quote that your family is your first team - so true!!!<br />We have always tried to limit the # of activities that our boys can be involved in at a time - we still like to have evenings where we are all home together. One of our boys isn't really interested in ball teams and we have never forced him to participate - that would be a whoppin' for all of us!!Kimhttp://day-with-kt.comnoreply@blogger.com
