Don't you love to see your child excel at what he or she is good at and then receive recognition for it? I do.

My boys love sports and music, and you better believe I am the loudest person there to celebrate a good hit, a three-pointer, or a song well played.

In fact, sometimes I have to reign myself in and remember that things like sports and music can teach my sons a lot about life, being good men, and even following Christ. But there's more to life than excelling at the things our children love.

Our hearts as moms tell us our kids need to be the best, the greatest, for their lives to really matter. But Jesus says the greatest shall be the servant of all.

Do we want them to be favored or do we want them to follow Christ?
