This week on our Facebook page the question was asked "how do you responded when family does not agree with your decision to let your kids ride motorcycles?"
And the responses were all worded very differently, but were unanimously in agreement, that
1) this is valuable family time
2) this sport is dangerous, but so is anything else kids do
3) its better than too much TV time or getting in trouble time unsupervised
4) we give them all the safety equipment available and trust God to do the rest.
Personally, agree with all of these, but probably most with the last one. I know firsthand how tragedy can strike. I have also experienced extreme loss when everyone was doing everything right. On the other side of that coin, I have seen miracles happen before my eyes. Things, protection, that only a power greater than mere humans could provide. Things that could have only come from God.
So, if you are ever doubting your decision to let your kids ride, ask yourself if they do it for you or if they truly enjoy it. If they are having fun, then put them in the best gear you can afford, say a prayer over them, and put 'em on a bike. God has it planned out. It doesn't matter what we do, what we say, where we live, or how much money we have. God has a plan, and trusting him with our children is the best thing we can do.
Blessings!
