It’s a Stretch

The 16 inch was comfortable; an easy adjustment after ditching the training wheels.

But the 18 inch, even without solid footing, would last longer.

We knew there might be a learning curve.  Some tears.  Maybe a bloody knee.

She feared momentarily, then stretched.

Stretching pulls, awakens tired muscles, and stimulates growth.

Never be afraid to stretch:  your faith, your knowledge, your limits.

You just might soar.

    Cute post! We definitely have to stretch ourselves sometimes and do what we don’t think we can do. I know dd had a hard time doing this same thing.

  12. That’s so sweet! We’re not there yet, but if I stretch I can almost imagine it.

Speak Your Mind
