I'm pretty sure I will never be a "soccer mom". I can hear someone saying right now "never say never", and I appreciate that, but I really think "never" is applicable in this case - for oh so many reasons. But today the boys and I ventured into that world of youth sports in a small way. We joined the 4th annual Soccer Camp for our homeschool support group. Little guys and gals ages 5 and up were running around, doing drills, scrimmaging (is that a word?) and just having an awesome time. It was a beautiful thing. It is such a joy to be around a big group of homeschooled kids. Of course they are human and do their share of acting like wild animals, but there is something different about this bunch.
Personally this was a big deal for us (me). I didn't play sports as a kid and both of my guys tend to be on the shy side in a group so I was just giddy with pride and joy today. They participated and did their best. They looked out for each other and even held hands a bit - it was priceless. Well, don't take my word for it...
