The Miracle League MN - Spring Training

As a father  and as a professional who understands the importance of helping people with disabilities to access recreational programs I wanted to highlight in this blog one such program.The Miracle league Minnesota which is run by a fellow Hopkins Lindbergh class of 1974 alumnus, Kevin Thorsen  runs a Minnesota based company that installs these barrier free fields in communities around Minnesota. The work of this company has  made it possible for children with disabilities to enjoy the game of baseball.

I would encourage everyone to see this Miracle field at the All star fan fest taking place today and tomorrow at the Minneapolis convention center. For the child with a physical impairment to be able to play the game of baseball without tripping on the grass of a regular field and being humiliated at the same time is something that warms the hearts of every parent of s child with special needs.

Professional baseball is truly America's pass time because it is a game that can be enjoyed by all generations. The game is slow enough for people to understand  what is going on and it is a game where people of multiple generations can watch from the same room without one member losing their train of focus.

Often in the course of grieving the loss of someone special we are given a vision to honor the life of that loved one.  If Miracle field Mn can be used as an example I encourage everyone who might be grieving the loss of a loved one to ask yourself this question:" How can I honor the memory of my son, daughter, parent, or other family member"?  I encourage you to pray and ask God to reveal His plan to you and then sit back and watch God's plan unfold. It is another example of how God makes all things new again. Revelation 21:5
