Having a family can feel like playing football. You want to teach your children the game of life, but you discover there is more than one play to get there. First and ten, do it again.
How crazy have you felt lately with your children? Did you know next week is Thanksgiving break? You might want to check your school schedule.

I can remember those days sneaking up on us, primarily because we homeschooled for years prior. I didn’t have to answer to anybody but us.
But yea — check the schedule.
As I was watching the Tennessee Titans play the Green Bay Packers, it reminded me of how many times we rehearse a play in our heads; what to say, how to say it, and the penalty it needs, if any.
Soon we go out in the field with the plan, only to discover we got sacked!
It’s really not fun when the parents get sacked in the game of life.
But somehow, someway, we get back up after colliding with attitudes and childish actions.
The K.I.S.S. ~ First and ten, do it again!
This isn’t about always knowing what to do in the manner you think you need to do it. Playing the game of life takes guts, gratitude, and gumption.
- GUTS – You are in the trenches until you’re on the other side. That’s the fact of parenthood. You have to be willing to put yourself between your child and the defender. And sometimes, you have to be willing to let your child get knocked down. It’s not fun, but it is a part of the game of life.
- GRATITUDE – Our hearts are challenged so much as parents. We can feel defeated in a moment. Yet, we still have to get up and keep doing what we’re doing — parenting! No one likes to lose. Did you watch the Titans and Packers? It’s frustrating and breaks your heart when you don’t get what you’ve practiced for; the win. In order to counteract what is happening, you have to center yourself in gratitude.
- GUMPTION – There is no other way around it. As a parent (a mom, a dad), you have to be bold. You have to be ready to go down fighting for what you know is right for you, your child, and your family.
First and ten, do it again!
Get in the game of life for your child. Don’t give up when you’re tired. Get your rest, and the get back in the game. The more you do it, the greater your chances of winning as a parent.
Love your children with all your mind and heart. May your actions reflect your decisions that serve your children well.
This is the day to give more. First and ten, do it again!
