LOL! Thanks, Amy. But, I have the feeling that the dog didn’t really appreciate what she was about to do - by the look on his face. (Tee hee!)

[JustAmy]

Looks like he is saying ... What are ya gonna do with that!!!

It’s going to be a very busy week coming up - I won’t be online too much. I won’t be MIA - but close! I’ll miss everyone here - and hope y’all behave yourselves. I’ll check in when I can.

Turning in for the night - and will try to sneak a peek at Meg’s wonderful Sunday Blessing!

Be good, (and if you’re not - FReepmail me, and tell me all about it!)

HUGS!!!

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing. —Lyte

Run!

June 12, 2010

In the award-winning film Chariots of Fire, one of the characters is legendary British sprinter Harold Abrahams. He is obsessed with winning, but in a preliminary 100-meter dash leading up to the 1924 Olympics, he is soundly beaten by his rival, Eric Liddell. Abrahams’ response is deep despair. When his girlfriend, Sybil, tries to encourage him, Harold angrily declares, “I run to win. If I can’t win, I won’t run!” Sybil responds wisely, “If you don’t run, you can’t win.”

Life is full of reversals, and we as Christians are not excluded from disappointments that make us want to give up. But in the race that is the Christian life, Paul challenges us to keep running. He told the Corinthians, “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it” (1 Cor. 9:24). We are to run faithfully, Paul is saying, spurred on by the knowledge that we run to honor our King and to receive from Him an eternal crown.

If we falter in our running—if we quit serving God or give in to sin because of our difficulties—we risk losing a rich reward we could have received had we run our best.

Sybil was right. “If you don’t run, you can’t win.”

While running with patience the race for the King,
With obstacles taking their toll,
We slow down to look up for help from our Lord;
He keeps us aware of our goal. —Branon

Greater than winning any medal will be hearing the Master say, “Well done!”

Read: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. —1 Corinthians 9:24

Bible in a year:
Ezra 6-8; John 21
