Tonight, I make my comeback at the Moonlight Run. Not exactly in the fashion I would have like. But think about it, seven weeks ago I was laying in a hospital room the result of a heart attack. I’ll be running in the back somewhere and I welcome anyone to be my pacer or rabbit hunter of which I am offering myself as a target. While my fellow runners and friends will be racing for glory and the right to place, I’ll be running for my life. After all, Pre’s favorite quote suits me well….“Most people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run a race to see who has the most guts.”
And to quote from 1 Corinthians 9:24,25…
- 24 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. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.
Life is indeed an imperishable crown.
Will be thinking good thoughts for you tonight! And praying for swift feet and angel wings…Run the race of life, Sam! Life is imperishable, indeed, and so very precious because we only have one life to live. 🙂
Sam, I wish I could be there on the sidelines cheering you on! I am so proud of you. That horse threw you hard, but here you are, right back up riding him. You will win this race tonight. Not the way you have strived in the past. No, this race is far more important. Cogratulations and I will be praying for you all the way to the finish line!
