We have been focused on the summer Olympics this past week. It is amazing to think that many of these athletes have been training since elementary school age for these events. Their focus all their lives has been on winning a gold medal.
I have never aspired to being in the Olympics. However, one of our pastors recently pointed out that we are all in a race during our lives. How we train and live determines the outcome. If we follow our coach, Christ, and give our lives to Him to mold and encourage us along the way, we will one day obtain the crown that God has for us and our reward in heaven will be great. What better prize is there?
Tonight we took a family walk, my mother, Hu and the dog. Honorable mention for the walk goes to Hu since he outpaced us (especially since we stopped for a rest along the way). Mornings continue to be tough for him but by late afternoon and evening he is ready to move and enjoys getting out. We are so thankful for good weather that allows us to do that.
I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - Phil 3:14
