I am busy working away in the office today with Haylee laying behind me playing a game on her DS.  Every time she would win she would come up and tell me all about how she had won and would be super Happy about it.  But then I heard the words, “How do I keep losing?”  How many of us as adults have asked ourselves that a million times.

That being a hard question for an adult to explain to another adult imagine trying to explain it to your 8 year old.  Yah you can say life is not always fair and you don’t always win. Or you can say we all lose things in our lives at one time or another. Or you could… Well you get the picture.

But how frustrating it must be to think that you always lose.  That made me think about when Haylee was born and I found out that she has been effected by ABS.  I am sure somewhere in my mind I thought.  How come I always lose?  What did I do to get the bad cards?  All those emotions going through you head. Was it your fault, did you cause this, is God mad at you? There are a million different questions you ask yourself and a million different feelings you are feeling.

But really did you lose… Heck no.. You won.  You won a precious gift that only a select few are given from God.  So the next time you child says why do I always lose try turning that losing situation into a total wining situation. We need to teach them to be able to get over that feeling and go on.  Not to l that feeling drag on and on and get them in the total dumps.  Imagine what would of happened if I would of keep thinking negative about my sweet Haylee.
