Tell me how many dads would love to hear this call from their children...
I would love to share one that Oliver called on me.
Last week he had competition in basketball. Because one week before it we have realized that basket ball is not the easiest sport to play for Oli and that he does not really understand it I took him to the place where you can hit ball even in the late night.... and we tried to learn how to hold the ball, how to lead the ball, how to throw the ball. I didnt know much but What I knew I told him... He improved a little...
So the day for his competition came... He had two disciplines and each was against time and skill. The one I was mostly afraid was the one in which he has to score as much as possible in certain time...
He had two tries. The first one he score none as most of the class (around 14 of them).
After every one had their go, they started the second and last round.
I was watching Oli as his friends were missing to score. He would go to try on the side to improve as much as he could. I saw him being a little nervous and then at once He run to me. He came very close to where I was standing and he said: "Dad give me an advise" I knew exactly what I should tell him because for the last half an hour seeing him how he does it I was wispering these words to my self.... I told him, Oli throw the ball from the side, do not came to close under the cage, and take it slow do not rush, if you score 3 balls you win... He run back... and was called to do his last round. He did everything I told him and guess what. He scored 3 times. WOW what a celebration that was for him but also for my self.
You know again I have understood the joy and celebration God must throw around the heaven when one of his children comes to Him and say "Dad give me an advise" and then they obey Him in all He said. Friends I do really want to be like Oliver in this matter. Because there is greater joy on bouth sides.
Oliver then afterwards came to me and said: "Dad you gave me the best advice and I scored"!
Job 12:13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
