with three boys playing on three different teams,
it should come as no shock that we enjoy being at the ball field.
which is a might good thing, 'cause we are there often!
while the schedules are at times difficult to keep up with,
we relish each crack of the bat and that firm sound of ball meets leather.
it helps greatly too that the weather has mostly cooperated,
giving us picture perfection baseball days and nights.
there's nothing quite like a night at the ball field.
the sun just set, with a slight not-quite-summer-yet nip in the air.
or a day spent in the midday high sun.
either way, watching my most favorite players.
it is invigorating.
all three boys have played their very best, enjoying each game, win or lose.
excelling and enjoying are the perfect matching pair this season.
and Little Man asks, "can i play baseball for Jesus?"
.. wondering what that looks like ..
we've had some lessons in this during the season... some tougher than others.
each have played something fierce, hitting and pitching and catching.
and when they reach their dugout, they encourage and smile,
no matter the tale on the scoreboard.
and all we've asked is that they do their best,
and share the love of Jesus.
they're each braver than i,
flat-out asking coaches and teammates alike if they know our Father.
(it is a wonder to watch a coach's reaction to this child's question)
and yes, you can play baseball for Jesus, boys.
everything you do in life, do it all for Him.
