Jesus Loves Baseball~

Monday Greetings~

As we start off yet another week with the drizzles, let all that rain remind you of God's bountiful blessings. Well, this reminds me of a hymn.

The chorus goes like this:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

I am confident that if we took out a sheet of paper and starting writing all our blessings down, our pages would fill up quickly and we would be blessed by our blessings.

Something I would have to include is what I saw Saturday night. Hormone went to play baseball with some buddies and before the game started, they made a circle with the opposing team, held hands, bowed their heads and prayed.

Glory glory hallelujah!

This proves that strong, athletic, handsome, fiercely competitive young men are not--I repeat--not embarrassed or afraid to ask the Almighty for protection and help.

It was a beautiful moment, and I quickly asked Hormone's dad to snap a picture so I could send it out today.

Does Jesus even care about a baseball game? He does if we make Him part of it.

1 Corinthians 10:31...everything should be done to bring glory to God.

God has great power to keep us safe, bless us, protect us, provide for us, and fill us with peace and enjoyment no matter what we are doing, so we should verbally acknowledge Him for these things. When we honor Him by inviting Him to be part of our lives, we glorify Him.

It is important to note that the folks on Hormone's team took it a step further by also glorifying God in deed as well. There was no cussing, spitting, or rude gestures from anyone. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, for a change, and was glad to see that it is possible to have fun and keep it clean.

My daughter-in-law and I even cheered. Remember Fire Cracker, Fire Cracker, Boom Boom Boom!? I was kicking especially high that night.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We glorify You right now by inviting You to come into our life today and everyday. We thank You in advance for Your provision and protection and for all the beautiful things You will show us this week. We want You to be a part of every single thing we do. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
