About This Quote
When a kid plays baseball on a Sunday, it might not seem like much to most people. However, for the kid, it’s a very big deal. It’s a way for him to say that he has the freedom to do whatever he wants to do. All of these things have been made by God and they are part of God’s universe.
Playing baseball is something special and it shows how much God loves us. If we play dumb, we miss out on so many opportunities to show God how much we love him and what he has done for us.
