The thing is, she happens to be 92 years old!!!
Check out this clip from her crossing the finish line.
This Sunday, August 2nd, we'll be looking at a familiar and well-loved passage from Philippians in which Paul uses the metaphor of running a race to talk about striving to become all that Jesus saved us to be. One hundred percent of our focus should be on the goal.
The problem that most of us struggle with at one time or another is that we get distracted or lose motivation to keep running. We get down on ourselves for our failures or spend too much time celebrating our victories that we fail to remember that the race isn't over yet. A marathon is a good picture of our journey following Jesus. It's continuing for the long haul until we someday cross the finish line either when we enter God's presence at the end of this life or Christ returns. Until that day, let's follow Harriette's example and keep on running!
I hope I'll see you this Sunday!
Communion and the Good Samaritan Fund
If you would like to contribute specifically to the Good Samaritan Fund, look for the basket in the Fellowship Hall following worship. You can also send or drop off your contribution at the church.
