Tryphena's Proud moment

25th October was Tryphena & Theo's Annual Sports Meet at the 'Deva Matha Central School'.
They had been excited about it for a while now.

Theo participated in the Frog Race & Tryphena in the 50 mtrs. Hoop race - it's a race where they had to run a few pace and put a ring through their body.

In our family prayers, Tryphena had been praying that she would come first, though we didn't know what she was taking part in - she didn't want to confide in us.

At the starting point she started off very late, but picked up speed with each rings - being a slim girl she was able to pass through it fairly quickly.
At the finish line, she stood 2nd. But the girl who came 1st was disqualified as she didn't pass through the last ring, and Tryphena was given the 1st prize - and she was elated.

Theo for his part, was so conscious of doing it the right way. He is in the middle - fell down a couple of times and continued on. He stood 1st from the back :-)
He is seen with Tryphena's medal.

Later on Tryphena mentioned that at the beginning of the race she looked up to the sky and prayed that she would win the race.

Yes, we are proud parents - not just because Tryphena won the medal and the sheer determination which she has; but more importantly, her heart to seek after God for the littlest of things - which, at times, we grown ups tend to forget!
