Hello ,
Keith Hernandez is one of baseball's top players in history. He is a lifetime .300 hitter who has won numerous Golden Glove awards for excellence in fielding.
He's won a batting championship for having the highest average, the Most Valuable Player award in his league, and even the World Series.
Yet with all his accomplishments, he has missed out on something crucially important to him -- his father's acceptance and recognition that what he has accomplished is valuable.
Listen to what he had to say in a very candid interview about his relationship with his father: "One day Keith asked his father, 'Dad, I have a lifetime 300 batting average. What more do you want?' His father replied, 'But someday you're going to look back and say, "I could have done more."
My heart ached when I read this account, and I wondered quietly to myself, "Do I sometimes demand more from others than they can give?"
"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another..." Romans 12:10
We need God's help to interact with people in ways that are loving and less demanding!
Have a great day and God bless!
