Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot: Friendships

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot was written in 2006, two years before Billy Crain passed away suddenly on June 3, 2008. He never got the book published, but our family felt inpired and led by God to find a publisher and get the book in printed from. The book uses the transparency of Billy's baseball stories to expose God's hand in the details of our lives. The ultimate journey leads us to see God is in our stories and to train us to recognize it is really HIS STORY in our humanity. To order your copy today contact jennifercrain@sbcglobal.net.

Friendships

When life gets tough, most of us desparately need those around us that will hold us, pray for us and be very patient with us as well walk in this daze of "what happened to my life". I am learning that God wants me to hold out open hands to new people as well as people from my past and receive from them the life-giving blessing of the day. Let me tell you about a few of my recent gifts. Anthea is editing this new book we are putting together. She is also giving me gentle nudges to move out into promoting myself as a speaker. Carol is always praying and encouraging me.Meredith is my new counselor in grief ( not really a professional but very good at finding life after being torn apart by grief) I was able to encourage a recent widow friend, Chris, who lost her husband after 40 years of marriage. None of us live in a cave alone. We MUST have each other. Those others MUST know and love God and be able to share their faith with us. I bless you all to find these life-gving relationships that will help you discover God's new plans for you. Jeremiah 29: 11."I know the plans that I have for you, plans for a hope and a future."
