Today is my oldest granddaughter Maia's 12th birthday. It is hard to believe that she will be a teenager in one year. (On the other hand, she has been going on 21 for several years now).
Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking to the leadership team for the Wayne County Relay For Life. It gave me a chance to tell some of my story again. It gave me a chance to say out loud, "I am a cancer survivor." It allowed me to share once again that God is good! I am sure that many folks have heard it from me unti lthey are a bit weary of hearing it. So it was good to be able to share it again.
I have a story to tell! Maia is a very important part of my story. And so are the rest of my family. And so are my church family and my friends. And so are you. But my story is really all about Him.
You also have a story to tell. When is the last time that you shared it with someone?
Hymn by John S. B. Monsell
ReplyDeleteFight the good fight with all thy might,
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;
Lay hold on Life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race through God's good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
Faint not nor fear, His arms are near;
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
On Him rely and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.
