I'm not one to brag on my kids. (They usually don't lack in the area of self-confidence.) So today I'm not bragging on my kid, and I'm certainly not bragging on our parenting skills. (Ronnie's and mine) I'm bragging on what God can do. He can take imperfect lives and use them for His glory. We make choices daily, and no one in this family makes all the right choices each day. However, we know who (the Lord) to seek and where to go (the Bible) to find answers for our day to day lives. Again, it's our choice to choose Him.
James 1:17 says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
Anything good that happens to me is from Him. I am not good, but He is! And I am very thankful and truly blessed!!! I also believe that God has put the most wonderful educators, coaches, church family, church leaders, even daycare teachers, and godly friends in PT's path, which is truly an answer to prayer.
When PT was about four he was sitting with one of my former co-workers, Bonida Huggins, at an event at my school. After singing the Star-Spangled Banner, he turned to her and asked when would the ballgame begin. YIKES!!! So in Kindergarten I wrote PT a poem (also recited by ND) just so he would start to understand that there was a little more to life than sports. (A difficult task for both of my children.) Ironically, it was entitled "Big Plans".
"Big Plans"
You may think I'm a little kid,
Someone with no plans at all-
But I've got plans, BIG PLANS!
I want to play Professional Baseball!
Or be a doctor, or be a lawyer,
Or maybe President!
I'm just a little kid, with Big Plans-
I know I'll be a hit! ~by dc
Both boys did a great job reciting the silly poem, and looked pretty cute dressed in a red, white, and blue baseball uniform. Those were fun times. How funny it is to see the title of the article about PT today includes the words, "Big Plans". Another gift sent from above ~ how else could I explain it?
But before I post this link, I am reminded of a very important verse quoted by my mother time and time again. Luke 12:48b says, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
Giving the Glory to God! http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20110209/BOSSIER/102090310/Student-of-the-Year-has-big-plans
