Playing catch (and learning to let go)

Playing catch (and learning to let go)

by Joel Howard

Throw me the ball! Here! Catch this! 

Learning to fail - learning to miss

Dealing with loss - loosening your grip 

Playing catch can teach you all of this

A life of give and take 

The Lord gives and takes away 

Humility to receive 

And giving's generosity

 "Let's play a little catch!" 

God says with a smile 

Teaching me along the way 

Forming me the whole while
