A Diamond is a Blessing...

I have seen God's blessing in so many ways over the past few years. He works in amazing ways. He is beautiful and faithful and kind and loving and all things good.

I was overwhelmed last night with a sense of wonder at who God is. I was blessed with the opportunity to watch my friend Stewart play his first game of softball since the end of his chemo treatments. Stewart had three amazing rounds at bat, and one where the ump called him out(stupid ump!). The three times Stu hit the ball he made it to first base. He was also amazing in the field. He was on his game for sure! It sounds simple, a grown man playing softball with friends, but for me it was a sign of God keeping his promises. God will never leave us or forsake us. He loves us and wants good things for us. He is mighty and worthy of my praise! I don't know how to express it fully, but watching Stewart play last night was a wonderful blessing to me.
