The video above is of Thomas pulling a 40lb sled. He was one of the only kids that could do it alone.
As a young boy playing sports I can remember a lot of great times and memorable moments. From winning many consecutive baseball championships to making basketball all-star teams, none of these moments compare to what I had in the stands. My parents were some of the most supportive sports parents I have ever known. I had at least one parent at every game I remember playing as a young boy. Even when I was in college they traveled all over the country to watch me play ball. One of the things that sticks out most was my moms attendance at all of my High School football games, 10 games and about 15 minutes played. I will also never forget the Saturday morning that my dad promised me $20 if I hit a home run in a little league baseball game that day, as I rounded 3rd base (my first home run ever) their stood my dad with a $20 bill waiving above his head. My parents continued to pour their time and money into my athletic endeavors (which paid off). To them I owe a debt of gratitude that not all kids are so lucky to bear.
My best year ever includes fueling an undying passion to fully support my little man in everything that drives him. I asked him again today if he loves football and gave me an emphatic "OH YEAH".
I am so proud.
Jacy,
ReplyDeleteI think that's rad! I cannot wait until Carter has the chance to do sports so I can encourage him too. Being a dad is such a pleasure and a dream come true. I think it's so cool how we have that "power" to encourage them and build them up in the Lord in and in their self-esteem. Keep it up man!
