Our church, Osage Hills, hosted Upward basketball this year. It's focus is on both sports and learning about Christ. We decided to make it a family affair, so Richard and I signed up to coach. Mase loved that his Daddy coached the team.
It was an incredible experience to see these young kids grow in both their basketball skills and with their sportsmanship. We had all kinds of ability levels on our team and on several occasions, I choked back tears seeing these 5 and 6 year olds work together to make sure everyone on the team could score a basket.
During one of our devotions early on in the season, I posed the question "What does it mean to be Christlike?" Our sweet Mason blurted out "it means that our friends are more important than basketball." Proud mom moment!
