ANOTHER LOOK AT WILLING PRAISE

1/18/2011

 After a recent  game, our basketball team received some concerning input from an opposing team's sportmom.  We hoped her comments were untrue but they were never-the-less graciously accepted.  To ever be able to give her praise would seem  out of the question.  A few days after the disappointing assessment was administered a sweet and extensive apology was received from this sportmom asking forgiveness for her poor sportmanship. So the next step?  A perfect opportunity to give willing praise (see the SPORTMOM E-votional on 1-18-11).  Here is a portion of the response:  I am so impressed with the strong character you displayed in your apology letter... thank you for letting us know "the rest of the story"  . . .  as a "sportmom" you get the "DO IT RIGHT" award for follow-up!  

As a  Christian (yes, that is why she was able to move forward!)  this Sportmom displayed how to walk through  self-induced tough times and on to banner-waving success!  She has taken a weak point and turned it into being a poster child for humility and righteousness.  Yay to her!  What a splendid outcome - it glorified our Father in heaven and spoke volumes to the world.  And that is life . . . BEHIND THE BENCH!

    As a veteran Coach's wife, Janet Brown launched SPORTMOMS & MORE in 2008.  We believe that God has called each sportmom to her role as Mom of an athlete, coach's wife or gal coach.  This ministry is designed to support and encourage those who nurture our athletes as they "run the race set before them".
