This past week Keagan had a complete melt down about missing a
soccer game to attend a track meet. It was only one game, and there are only
four track meets this season. I tried rationalizing with him, and it totally
back fired on me.
"Keagan, you are so very fast. God has given you a special
gift, and by not running, you are not using your God-given talent. You should
really think about that when you tell me you want to skip the meet."
Keagan stomps off to his room. A couple of minutes later he
returns.
"Mom, I've been thinking about what you said. I know God made
me fast, but He made me fast for the soccer field. Not the track. I want to run
fast when I play soccer."
Needless to say, track has been scratched from the calendar, and I
have learned to never argue God given talents with my seven year old. He is
wiser than I.
