Enjoyment Comes This Week

For those of us that are baseball fans this is a good week as major league baseball begins with pitchers and catchers reporting for spring training.

Every team is optimistic in one fashion or another though for some making the playoffs and the World Series isn't realistic. This can come to players trying to make a major league roster as well.

Most teams will have only have a few spots open for players trying to make the jump from the minor leagues or veterans trying to keep a career going. There will only be a handful will be able to succeed. Major league teams already know who will be their starters whether in pitching or on the field at all the positions. They may only have a couple spots where players are competing. This year they are expanding from 25 to 26 players so one additional reserve player will be added to the roster. So someone who would have gone to the minor leagues before now will be on the roster to begin the season. All depending on how they perform will determine how long they stay around along with injuries that always happen during the season.

It is a whole different world then what we the normal person lives in. We can look at our gifts and talents to see where it fits in the world. We can make a difference in someone's life just a baseball player can do so for a baseball team. We can live in a way that others can only imagine. Though everyone has their unique gifts and talents along with life purpose do they realize it is the case for them or they just living day to day to survive.

My encouragement is we can be someone who lives up to the purpose God created them to be and it can start today. It doesn't matter where we have been yesterday or the day before that the thing is we are living today and we can start it today. We can ask God where we should begin and who we can make a difference in their lives. Also, we can see who will make a difference in our lives too. Amen!
