Join a little girl, her brothers and her very
adventurous grandpa in an epic moment of
baseball history. Based on her true life story,
Bethany creatively shares the impact people can make by simply believing in the joy others can bring. True joy is found deep within our hearts when we know others are truly glad to be with us, no matter what. Joy knows we do not need to be fixed. Joy is safe. Joy offers time to try new things. Joy is found in Christ and in you and me.
