My husband is a “never give up” on the team kinda’ guy.  He loves baseball and always watches his favorite Mets’ games. Sometimes they are amazing, but sadly, for years, they have not made it to the playoffs.  Baseball is definitely his game.  Until his shoulder injury, he played senior softball in a league and was a great player, fast runner, good enough to always hit the ball, too. At one particular game, his #1 Fan…me… was in the stands watching.  He was at the plate, in his stance, when he looked over at me and did the famous Babe Ruth gesture.  He pointed out in the field, smiling, saying, “This one is for YOU (me)!” It was truly an awesome, soaring ball, flying far out in the field. Beautiful home run.  I was the one loudly cheering. LOL

On my morning walk today, I was listening to praise music and some oldie hymns. One particular song, I had never heard before. It was a country-type hymn and these words popped out at me: “The Righteous slide into base and the Umpire, God, calls them SAFE in His home.” Isn’t that great? I know some folks are coached by the lies of Satan, but I pray they will see the Light. Our dear Lord, loves us so unconditionally, and His Holy Word coaches and provides us with truth and wisdom. I do think I will carry that visual, of sliding into HOME and hearing my Heavenly Father calling me SAFE, tucked in my heart.
