TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

In the Finlayson family, we swim, ride bikes, play basketball and play football - we do not play baseball! BUT...... one of Rick's good friends, Jason Turley, asked if Connor would come and play for his baseball team, and so we decided to give it a shot. Connor's first game was on Tuesday, and on the way there he was so nervous because he has never even seen a baseball game, and most of the boys on his team have been playing for years. I was SO proud of him as he hopped out of the car and went and played his very best.

Every day I learn so much from my sweet children, and over the past few days I have thought about how much this little baseball game is so much like the big game of life. Sometimes we are doing what is comfortable, what we have been doing for years or generations, and then a kink gets thrown into our life, and we have to learn a new game. We can either sit in the car and not even try, or hop out of the car and give it our very best. Thank you Connor for showing me how it is done.
