Abstract
Today my son ran a marathon. While watching the 1,300 people run, some struggled, some walked, some shuffled, some ran slow, some ran fast. But while only one person was first, everyone was a winner. Running the race is a success for all the runners which includes benefits that far outweigh the difficult struggle they endured – strong lungs, strong heart, better overall health. The struggled was short, but the benefit is long.|It occurred to me that the race we all run for Christ has benefits that outweigh the struggles we endure in our daily lives – eternal life with Jesus. If we keep the Gospel lesson in mind, we know that we 'will have trouble', but are encouraged that He has 'conquered the world.'|Keep running!
