This is the second time I’ve seen that Chinese proverb that I wrote on my calendar! I think God is trying to tell me something ever so gently!

I really agree that competition at such a young age, and also far beyond, is not helpful to what we all really want, which is to be included, to be together to enjoy one another. I was saddened to read the previous comment that creating a supportive and non-competitive environment for our children would be thought of as “a bubble”. I hope to live in a community (not a bubble) that sees what leads to deep happiness, for our children and ourselves, and realizes that “stealing the ball” as the focus of a game is not ultimately the answer. I agree with the Teresa Drake. When I read the above comment I see, in my mind, a little kid with a whole bunch of balls all around him, and no one to play with and no smile on his face because he took all the balls and wont share them.

Comment on 365 Days of Praise by Michelle

I know you are big on journaling so I hope you continue this practice because it is so Teresa. It reminds me of what I pray for you often, “Whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9 You are ‘putting into practice’ by posting your actions on your site – sharing God, loving others! You Go Girl!!! Love you!

Comment on Because I Said So… by Darcy

My mom said those words a million times and I never thought of her as bossy in anyway. I have used those words with my kids and follow it up with because I am wiser and I know what is best. I guess you could say, “That is just the way it is,” see how far that gets you. You could as your mom or my mom why they used those words. Might just gain a new outlook on it.

Part of the game is taking the ball from the other team. If that is how the game was set up by the two coaches, that is how it is. As they get older and play basketball, it is even one of the stats they keep track of. Yes, everything is a competition these days. It is what we turned the world into. So, just go along for the ride or put the kiddos in a bubble.
