Although this is a picture book, it is great for older children and adults because there are lots of words. Growing up especially in our spiritual lives is hard and requires perseverance!! Daisy must try again and again to get that hop under control. Giving up cannot be an option! Many, many times in life failure and "hippity-hoppity-flop..., slippety-flippity..., whoopsity-oopsity..., crashity-smashity...,and bumpity-thumpity" HAPPENS! But that is all part of the journey!
Right now the fellas are learning golf and they have had to learn this lesson the hard way. For the present shot, they must through off the past, both the good shots and the sad shots. The other day they were playing number 10 at Countryland, the hole on which Dax achieved his very first par. Cole had played it well too during the trip before. They were so stuck in the good memory, they flubbed up the present shots a bit.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." -Hebrews 12:1-3
