smaller
my
pride
(yes, i just created a word)
this is jack-the-freshman's
wrestling venue for the weekend
so.stinking.exciting.
and
he worked hard
for this big-mat-state-championship-opportunity
but
in my school world
i see kids who work just as hard
but never
make the team
or
get the medal
or
win
and i'm humbled this morning
thinking of jack's God-granted gifts
of
strength
agility
dedication
humility
and remembering his work in jack's life
smallers
my
pride
is there an area in which you need to smaller your pride?
linking with lisa-jo and barbie today.
Hi Kendall, visiting from FmF. I hope I understand you correctly but why do you need to 'smaller' your pride. If it's your son your'e writing about. You have every right to be bursting with pride. I am very proud o my son too. I hope he (Jack) did well.

I like the words pleasure and happiness in my kids...(if you are trying to avoid the word pride and it's negative connotations it can imply.) Hope you son does well!
ReplyDeleteI like that new word and yes, I have areas I need to smaller my pride - like my concern over what people think of me and how I will be perceived. I need to smaller those areas daily. Great job Jack!
