My daughter (#10) celebrates a big playoff volleyball victory with her teammates…after a season of learning to celebrate the smaller victories.
We’ve always celebrated the wins. Who doesn’t?
But one season, we learned that when the big victories don’t come, it is just as important to celebrate the small ones.
My 16-year-old daughter returned from a summer missions trip with a broken toe just as varsity volleyball began at her high school. She started the season late and had barely practiced for a week, when she tweaked her ankle in practice and suffered another set-back.
