WE DO BASEBALL NOT BALLET
by: Mark Thompson

Have you ever noticed that we, as a society, react only to the things in life that are thrown at us, the things in life that we have to deal with, or things in life that we actively take offense to?

Seldom, if ever, do we sit back and enjoy the beautiful things in life that our Creator has gifted us with.

For example, my oldest just finished his season of All-stars. He's really good at playing baseball. However, he has a ways to go to sit back and enjoy what God has blessed him with on a daily basis.

We were coming home from the hospital the other day and I was already in the "receiving blessings" frame of mind because my fourth son just arrived.

As we ramped on the interstate, the sky was lit up with pink, puffy clouds liberally distributed across the sky. I asked him, "Look what God has given you."

He said, "What?" I continued, "He's given you a sky full of cotton candy." He replied, What are you talking about?"

I said, "Look up in the sky. Doesn't that look like a sky full of cotton candy?" He very astutely stated, "Isn't that caused by the light of the sun reflecting off the clouds?" I explained, "Yes. That's one way to look at it.

But your Creator lets that happen so you can enjoy it as more than a scientific fact. He blesses you with a gift of a real live portrait and painting. It's up to you how you receive the gift."

My wife and I now have 4 boys. We do baseball not ballet. I have to remind myself to stop and enjoy the more eloquent things in life like the beautiful sunsets, rain and the birth of a new son.

Life is in everything. It's a gift. Enjoy it.

As a society, baseball is our national pastime.
And it's a great game.

As a person, enjoy your life with the vision your Creator has given. It's a great gift.

Challenge:
Throughout the next week, take note and enjoy 3 things about life that you would not normally even acknowledge
as special. This will take a conscious effort for you to look for these "everyday things".

Please email me with your blessings and success stories.

Until next time keep looking and living forward.
