　　Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence．

　　Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much．The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning(局)．I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning．

　　Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat．Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible．The first pitch(投)came and Shay missed．The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay．As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher．

　　The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game．Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first! ” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked．

　　Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second．By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head．

　　All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay．” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third．” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team．

　　That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world．Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

A Divine Plan

　　At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one student de-1ivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended．He began with a question．“Every-thing God does is done with Perfection．Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things as other children do．Where is God’s plan reflected in my son?”

　　The audience was stilled by the question．The father continued, “I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world，an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself．And it comes in the way people treat that child．”

　　Then he told the following story：

　　Shay and I walked pasta a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball．Shay asked, “Do you think they will let me play?”

　　I knew that most boys would not want him on their team．Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly，much less connect with the ball．So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play．The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates．Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, “We are losing by six runs(得分)．The game is in the eighth inning(回合)．He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning．”

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield．

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored again．They had the potential to win．Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game?

　　Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat．At last, understanding what the boy’s intentions had been, the boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero．

　　“That day，”said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face “the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world．”

(1)

(2)
