32: Living "Thy Will Be Done"
Most of us are familiar with the phrase “Thy will be done” from the Lord’s Prayer, and today, I want to share the story of a man whose life is one of the most perfect examples of living that phrase that I can think of. As a professional basketball player, Dick Steineman traveled the world playing the game he loved. During his career, an experience on a hillside in Venezuela opened Dick's eyes to a need that he felt God was calling him to fulfill. Upon retirement, Dick returned to his home state of Ohio and founded St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen, among several other ministries, and he has been serving the less fortunate now for almost 30 years. His faith that the Lord will provide has proven itself in so many incredible stories that inspire me (and hopefully you too!) to believe in the notion that it is in fact, in giving, that we receive.
