Run The Race

This is a picture of our grandson's Logan and Luke running a race.  Our son-in-law, their daddy, is watching proudly in the background.  Both of them love to run.  Luke, in the forefront of the picture, is our youngest grandchild.  Logan, our oldest grandchild, has won many races.  He's been running races and winning since he was three year's old.


There is much turmoil in the world today.  There is turmoil and trouble in the area where we live.  No one is exempt from trouble.  Just in the past few months my family has been dealing with troubles, or the cares of this life, you might say.  My husband was in the hospital for a problem with his heart, which thank God was corrected.  Then he had to have minor surgery.  His sister was in the hospital where she passed away after 2 weeks.  Just a few days ago my mother had major surgery and then on top of all of this a friend of ours just found out they had cancer.


So trouble is on every hand it seems, but the Bible tells me in Isaiah 40:31, "...they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."


Life is a race and it's hard.  But I'm going to wait upon the Lord and the Word says He will renew my strength.
