Here it is. I know of many parents that enroll their kids in lots of things, good things even. They have them signed up for soccer and hockey and basketball and gymnastics and dance and music and..... The list goes on and on. Then in the off season they have them signed up for every camp they can possibly involve them in.
Then on the other side is the parents who wish they could put their children in one thing but they do not have the resources. They would love to see their child get out of their home and spend time with other kids learning a skill. So here is my challenge.
Will you consider either paying for another child to enter the sport your son or daughter are in? Will you consider having your child be involved in one less event and taking those resources and blessing another person?
You may think my child would be upset. Maybe if they saw it as a gift instead of a denial they would be willing to assist.
Maybe the problem wouldn't be with the child, maybe it is the parent that wants fame and success so much for their child that they lose sight of the blessing of giving.
