Ahead of Saturday’s game, Braves player Brewer Hicklen made a post to Instagram.
He wrote: “So grateful to live this out dream alongside my family ♥️
After years of obedience, I’m blown away by the doors He has opened and the opportunities He’s given me.
Since I know tomorrow is not guaranteed, I’ve held onto this verse: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
My prayer has been to use every opportunity to share the Gospel, spread His love, and point others back to Him.”
Here’s what people were saying in the comments:
@katieval9: “🥹🥹 love y’all and so proud of y’all!!!! Go braves and go Hicklen’s!!!”
@lui_strength: “Life is beautiful my brother ❤️”
@pandaprincess53: “So glad you’re on the Braves team. Proud to have you as one of our own 👏👏”
