Have fun kids!

 

Those who wait for perfect weather will never plant seeds; those who look at every cloud will never harvest crops. 

You don't know where the wind will blow, and you don't know how a baby grows inside the mother. In the same way, you don't know what God is doing, or how he created everything.

 Plant early in the morning, and work until evening, because you don't know if this or that will succeed. They might both do well

Sunshine is sweet; it is good to see the light of day.

People ought to enjoy every day of their lives, no matter how long they live. But they should also remember this: You will be dead a long time. Everything that happens then is useless. 

Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young; be happy while you are young. Do whatever your heart desires, whatever you want to do. for everything you do. (Ecclesiastes 11:4-9)

Our young people are under so much pressure today. I am glad I am not young! I was able to enjoy my youth. I played in the streets. I went from one neighbor's house to the next playing. We played baseball all day at the park and basketball until it got dark in our back yards. We played touch football in the street. When we got to high school we played every sport we could because it was about the name on the front.....no names on the back! More importantly, we went to church together, we ate dinner as a family and we were allowed to watched Saturday morning cartoons in our pajamas until noon! We did not plan for our careers at thirteen...we simply played for the team and day dreamed of the future! School was to learn and sports was for fun.

What a difference! Today our kids are planning a career in middle school. They have tutors, trainers, and recruiters. We simply had parents and teachers! Teachers taught us and our parents coached us. In high school our teachers taught and coached! Even college ball was fun! Our parents, however, controlled our decisions!

What does this have to do with the scriptures above? Parents, let kids enjoy their youth! Young folks, it won't be long before you are not young anymore....have some fun! Coaches . . . please think like parents and care for the kids' heart and SOUL, not so much wins, losses, scholarships, , contracts,and future coaching job offers!  God will take care of the rest!

   Have fun kids . . . .God wants us to enjoy this life while we have it to live! Because once we die....well . . . .you get it!
