We
took Cailyn to her softball practice yesterday at the Lassie League
fields. The Galveston College Lady Whitecaps were playing a softball game at the same time on the neighboring field. I positioned myself on the top row of the
stands so that I could keep an eye on Cailyn and watch some of the Whitecaps
game as well. (The Whitecaps eventually
won the game, by the way. 7-4).
I
must have stood out in my mediatorial-ish position, one foot in both worlds so
to speak. A gentleman from the college
game walked over and offered this word of observation. With a nod of his head toward Cailyn’s team
of six and seven year olds, he offered: “Before you know it they will be
playing over here. Time goes by fast,
you know.” I could certainly agree with
the truth in that statement, as well as the sentiment behind it. (Doesn’t mean I have to particularly like it,
though). Can’t keep them youngsters
forever, no matter how hard we try.
Revelation
3:19 says, “Those whom I love I rebuke
and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.”
Father,
thank you for the time we have with our little guys while they are little
guys. Keep them safe as they grow into
big guys. That’s their job, after
all. Amen.
