When a little boy expressed that he was looking forward to the day when he would be old enough to play baseball, his mother cautioned him, “You won’t be able to run very fast because of the operations you have had on your legs.”

He replied, “That’s OK. I’m going to hit the ball out of the park. Then I can walk around the bases!”

If only we had such optimism for what we Christians can do!

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”—Ephesians 3:20-21.
