O God who lights our path and guides our steps,
This Saturday will mark the official season opening of the great American pastime, baseball. The legendary philosopher and catcher, Yogi Berra gave us this sage advice when he said: “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.”
His humorous irony speaks to the vital importance of having goals and seeing not just what is in front of us,
but also to look up and out, towards the far horizon. It is easy to become so immersed in the daily tasks of
getting done just what needs to be done, that we can lose sight of where it is that we are heading.
May it be Your will O God, to give us clarity of vision, and a good sense of direction. May we never lose sight of our ideals, or our faith in a bright future.
And let us say, Amen.
