If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and
ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.
We all face challenges, dark moments and unforgiving failures. However, God's gives us so
much that it makes up for all of our loses.
(James 1.5
NRSV)
This is the testimony of former major league baseball player Dave Dravecky, who is coping
with the loss of his pitching arm to cancer. He could be finished psychologically and physically
dealing with such a devastating burden, but into the scene stepped Jesus. Dravecky puts it
this way, "I am not getting through the loss of my arm because I am a great coper. I'm getting
through it because I have a Father in heaven who is a great giver."
Dear God, thank you for reminding me of your gifts which lead me to center my life in you.
Amen.
