This past week I bumped into two videos that seemed, in my mind, to "preach" the same message: no matter what your condition, what your limitations, what your "handicap": don't use it as an excuse. Move beyond it. I think, sometimes, we as parents need these kinds of reminders not only for ourselves, but for our kids, too.
So, if I may urge you: check out
No Excuses, just 61 seconds long, and
She without arm, he without leg: Hand in Hand, a five-minute ballet performance. Stunning!
I pray one or both of them will encourage you and, perhaps, your kids or your spouse: you
can do great things . . . if you will persevere.
