Day Eight Hundred and Sixty-Nine

The New Throwing Friend

Adam and I met Greg at our gym just a couple of weeks ago. He's recovering from a shoulder surgery that put him on the DL all last year. He's down here from New York and working his buns off to hopefully get picked up by a team by spring training's end. In our very first short conversation with Greg, we discovered that he was out of a throwing partner for several days this next month, and not only that, but since he had just moved here from NY, he didn't know very many people in the first place. So since we have plenty of free time in our days, Adam offered to play the same sort of catch with Greg that Adam did previously with me. Greg has a bucket of balls. He throws the balls to Adam until the bucket is empty, then refills it and does it again until his program is complete. Greg's getting in the work that he needs and Adam is more than happy to help...and add his coachly (not a word) advise when appropriate. 

 I think one of the sweetest things in life is being able to see a person's need and then being intentional in meeting it. That's what the Lord has been teaching Adam and I over the last six months. And what a blessing it is to watch what comes out of this sort of intentional living.
