God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...To Reach Higher

While I was listening to the Michael Baisden radio show on last week, I heard one of the guest say concerning kids and their friends that if they are the smartest one in the group, they are in the wrong group. Wow!!!! This triggered something in me that laid dormant for years and reminded me of words that I heard years ago while I was a student in the Upward Bound Program. " Pride Kids Reach Higher ", this is what I was told. Mr. Pride was the Director of the Upward Bound Program on USF's campus and he considered all of us his children, he expected more out of children. Thanks to Mr. Pride, his teachings, his patience, the upward bound staff, friends of like minds, and dreams of my own, I was encouraged to reach beyond mediocracy. I thank God for all the prayers and seeds planted earlier on in my life. I may not be where others are but I thank God I'm still able to reach higher and dream higher than I would have had I not been told that I could go further if I worked harder. Since I was encouraged to reach higher I would not dare deprive my children of the same. I'm encouraged to reclaim and to pass on the dream of others that existed before me. So to all children and adults alike I encourage you to reach higher by working harder. Aspire to do more in your life time, we all have more in our reach, much more than the many that came before us.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~Delphine
