@AmandaMoJo I have to remind myself that God loves them more than I do. I ask God to put godly people around them. And I hug them a lot! (6 kids, 16-26)
I’m not going to retire. Eventually, I’ll just be one of those old guys who hands out samples at Costco. I’ll start at the bottom, handing out weird turmeric drinks and then work my way up to the ravioli guy in the back.
@AmandaMoJo We love XC! Great family atmosphere. But I also love that it doesn’t require hours of practice or extensive parent involvement. We show up, cheer, go home. It feels like cheating as a parent!
So many of us have been handed down, or unknowingly allowed, or knowingly created a long, long list of worthiness prerequisites, a list of I’ll-be-worthy-whens. But here’s the truth of the matter: We are worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.
Just because you failed doesn’t mean you’re a failure. A loss doesn’t make you a loser and while you may have quit, you’re not a quitter. One moment doesn’t define you or your life. Keep learning, get better, and grow stronger through adversity and become all you’re meant to be!
