Let’s play ball! That’s my one request this month. It goes along with one of my favorite scripture verses from Galatians: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male or female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you belong on the softball field during the church picnic!” OK, so maybe I changed the last part.
There’s no such thing as too young or too old, either. We will have a tee for the youngsters to hit from (or the “oldsters” for that matter). And for those whose bones have seen better days, those same youngsters can serve as pinch runners for you. If you can swing a bat, they will do the running for you. How could life get any better?
Recreation is one of the things you have asked for and this is an opportunity to step up to the plate…literally. It’s a community thing. If you have a glove, bring it. If you have a favorite bat, bring it as well. If softball is just not your cup of tea, then come out and cheer (or jeer) the players on. It should be fun and I have ordered good weather for that whole day.
May God bless the month of May for you and your loved ones! See you on the field!
