Sometimes the best times in life are when you do something without prior plans.¬† I asked Luke on Monday morning if he wanted to go to the Red’s game?? I know ..stupid question for a 10 year old who loves sports of all sorts.¬† So off we went..Father and son just us!!¬† We arrived early payed $5 to park and walked along the river towards the ballpark.¬† After purchasing our tickets we found our seats and settled in for 5 1/2 hours of baseball.¬† No extra innings just a 2 hour rain delay.¬† During the delay we were asked to stand and face the flag for a moment of silence to honor those who payed the highest price.¬† It was amazing to hear the restless come to a quiet rest.
We found the only place in the ballpark that sells ice cream and hot dogs for $1.. I was excited.  We settled back into our seats watched the Reds win, and walked away happy!! What was the most memorable thing about the day you ask??  Hearing Luke say he loved me ( @ least 3 times ) and taking the long walk back to the car hand in hand!!  This has truly been a Memorial Day.
What is most of our time spent on these days??¬† Would you agree that we expend a lot of our energies on the circumstances that we face right now… What is your stance ( position ) on the circumstances you are facing right now ?? What is going on around us can quickly monopolize what is going on inside of us… I realize today that what is going on around us ( circumstances ) is not as powerful as what is going on above us!! Circumstances are temporal… Heaven is eternal !!¬†¬†¬† Take Heart !!
Berachah continues to be a ministry of amazement!!  Each week we find ourselves saying things like ” I don’t think it can get any better “, and somehow God mightily shows up and all we can say is “WOW”.  SERVING..GROWING..BUILDING..LOVING..GIVING..WINNING  are just some of the actions we experience daily as a part of something greater than ourselves.
Maryanne, Luke, Elley and I are so blessed to be actively involved with such a great team!¬† Let‚Äôs continue being built together as a great family of faith.¬† Look Up & Look UP¬† ………….The Best is yet To Come!!
