Re-learning how to ride a bike!

Do you ever feel defeated?
I do - I have.
I watched the clip below (don't watch it till your done reading. :) and I was overwhelmed with, well, I'm not sure exactly how to descibe it.

When children are little they work so hard to learn things.  As a parent, aunt, babysitter, grandparent or however you interact with children don't you notice how hard they try to learn a new task.  When a child is learning to walk they fall so many times, banging their head even, but they still get back up and keep trying.  When my girls were learning to ride the bike the same thing happened.  And sports - mistakes made, game play improves.  The list can go on.  Do we teach children to quit?  No, we cheer them on to keep trying, to not give up.

Now watch this clip.



I couldn't help but think about this little boy inspiring adults.  How often do we, as we get older give up and feel defeated.  Situatations in life seem so hard, they get so hard, and we just give up. 

I want to re-learn to ride a bike, with this boy cheering me on. :)

Romans 12:11-23 "Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervant in Spirit, serve the Lord.  Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
