At a time when there is so much wrong it is nice to see something really special.  The following story in the San Jose Mercury News is just pure magic:

Brandon Belt plays first base for the San Francisco Giants.  In May he was hit on the thumb by a pitch resulting in a serious break.  He is close to a full recovery, so the San Francisco Giants sent him to play a rehab game with the San Jose Giants.  I doubt that Belt was all that enthusiastic to play for a single “A” baseball team.

A twelve year old girl, Lyndsey Dworkin, who is a cancer survivor was chosen to throw out the first pitch.  She has endured 31 radiation treatments and 9 chemotherapy treatments.  She was wearing a Brandon Belt tee shirt.  Belt raced out of the dug out to meet her and then told her he would hit a home run on her behalf.  In his first place appearance Belt did exactly that.  Then he signed the ball and sent it to Lindsey with the following message:

“To Lyndsey, My Good luck charm. — Brandon Belt.”

Saturday morning Lindsey woke up and could hardly believe this was even true:

“Did that all really happen last night?” she wondered. “Otherwise, I just had the craziest dream.”

This story is almost, but not quite too good to be true.  Following is a picture of Brandon Belt talking to Lindsey and promising to hit a homerun.

Sometimes, God really does send us miracles.  I think it is his way of reminding us who is ultimately in charge.   In this case, he used a very special little girl and a classy professional ballplayer named Brandon Belt.
