 Trevor and his new belt.
I have to tell the story behind this picture. It was taken on Trevor's birthday last week. At the time he had a fever and could not go to karate, which was promotion night, of all nights! His coach, knowing how hard Trevor had worked for this new belt, made the effort to get Trevor his belt anyway, stopping by our house to give it to him. His coach said that it was Trevor's birthday afterall. I was amazed. To me, it could have waited another week, you know, teaching patience. But, now I see another lesson was taught, even more powerful: compassion! |
