This winter I have been surviving through activities, friends, and of course hobbies. When I was a kid, all I wanted as far as baseball cards was the 1952 Mickey Mantle card, even though I had never seen him play or cared for the Yankees haha.

As I started back into this hobby it has been really fun with all the relationships that are nurtured through it. Recently, even though I could never afford the 1952 card, I got my own special Mickey Mantle card at a card shop for $1. I carry it with me a lot and it has become one of my favorite cards. Not because I "finally got my Mantle".

This card reminds me that even though life does not always give you what you want, and neither does it play out EXACTLY LIKE you would expect, for those that know God, he is the giver of all good things, and he knows what is best for us, and is most concerned with that (Romans 8:28) rather than what we want.
