I like this story.
My first thought was God speaking to us…

“I did not send my Son for you to just start the race, I sent him to give you a way finish the race.”

One of the most celebrated riders in the Tour de France is the "lanterne rouge," the last place finisher, named after the red lantern they used to hang on the back of the train's caboose. Celebrated because he suffers and perseveres for nothing but the honor of coming last.

And it's not jeers, it is genuine congratulations, because only a very few ever are selected to compete, and merely making it to the finish is cause for celebration.

Who says coming in last place isn’t something to be proud of?

Considering that probably 99% of the population couldn’t even make the first mile, she did well. I have no desire to run around the block much less 26 miles...
