Terri’s Two Cents I introduced one of my grandkids to the sport of bowling this weekend. As we approached the bowling alley, my granddaughter was excited. She had been looking forward to this new experience and our regular “Grandparent and Me Day.” She had lots of questions, the first being, “Why do we have to wear someone else’s shoes?”. I helped her choose a pretty colored, but light weight ball and warned her about painful smashed fingers as she added the ball to the ball return rack. After a few more instructions, I walked up to the foul line with her. She was nervous, and had no idea what to do with the ball. So, I helped her swing the ball behind her and let go on the follow through. Her ball slid slowly down the lane and eventually hit just one pin. I praised her for her efforts and encouraged her to try again. It took a few more frames for her to be comfortable releasing the ball by herself, but she soon got the hang of it. The score of that first bowling game was not high, but my granddaughter did learn an important lesson that will help her in other areas of her life. At the mere age of Photo credits: ppt-backgrounds.net 7, she told me that she just needed to bowl more often to get better at it. Of course, that’s a common lesson that we all learn, but then she added, “I just have to bowl a lot more bad games before I can bowl good ones.” I thought that was such a profound thought for one so young. My wise granddaughter was saying that if we want to success in something, we first need to fail, and fail a lot. She never expected to be a good bowler before she spent time being a bad bowler. So, go out into the world and fail. Fail often. That is the only way we will succeed. Maybe that’s what Martin Luther meant when he said, “Sin boldly!”. “I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So, I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize.” – Philippians 3: 12 3
