Farewell to Football...For Now

My Land has been a football player for as long as he's been able to hold a ball. He used to refer to himself as a "sootball boy". He wore a football uniform everyday of his little life, even to the point of wearing this one out! This picture below was just a little glimpse of what was to come. Here he is at two striking a pose after passing the ball. Where does the time go...

.
Here he is warming up before one of his games. A football uniform just suits this boy!


Here he is as defensive end, lined up and ready to hit.




Stretching for as many yards as possible.





Taking a few knocks along the way. This is the part of the game that I do not like!






In fullback position.







Taking the hand off in double overtime. Land scored two touchdowns and two two point conversions to win the game! This boy LOVES him some football. I can't even describe how my heart just about beats out of my chest when he is on that field. I get so excited for him because I know this is what he has always wanted to do!







Here he is ,arms locked, with some of his best buddies. They are taking the field for their last Middle School game as team captains.









He always had the two little ones cheering him on.










Down by the fence getting a better look.











Anna Kayla and Greg were also there as often as possible.












This picture was taken at his last game by the team's photographer, it's Land scoring one of the three touchdowns he scored in this game. I love that determined look on his face! His Middle School season is over but he's already started conditioning for Junior Varsity baseball and he is looking forward to next year when he will play High School football! I'm not sure if this mama's heart will be able to take that!!!!!
Until next time...
Today is Orphan Sunday. My heart is burdened for those without families. I spoke about it at church this morning and I challenge each of us to in some way answer the call to...
Defend the cause of the Fatherless
Isaiah 1:17
November is also National Adoption Month! Could you be called to adopt????
Pray about it, you might be surprised at what God calls you to do!!!!

Ni Hao Y'all
