When God Made Baseball

One day while I was sitting out in left field in my camping chair watching the kids field grounders and chase pop ups, I started thinking about the lessons I’ve learned while watching baseball. The games are long and the seasons are long. You just have a few chances each game to make a hit. So it’s a game of patience, perseverance, and being in the moment — right here and now.

Here’s a blessing to take with you:

As you go,

May you step into this world

with the wonder of a child.

May your eyes trace the mystery of sunsets.

May your ears dance with the trills of birdsong.

May your feet wander onto new paths,

and may your heart settle into the wholeness

that has been there since you were

a glimmer in God's eye.

Go in peace.
