Running the Race

"If you wish to be perfect,

go, sell what you have

and give it to the poor,

and you will have treasure

in heaven."

Matthew 19:21

When I read this passage I think of

Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

How she really gave everything she had,

all for the love of God

and those whom God loved.

She ran the race,

keeping her eye on the prize,

Jesus Christ!

Like Joshua in the bible,

I say, "As for me and my house,

we will serve the Lord."

We may not have given up everything,

we may not be perfect,

but we choose to serve the Lord,

and run the marathon of life,

not in sprints,

but daily,step by step.

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,

Random.org chose

 #3, La Abela , a woman who talks to herself,

as she claims, and draws amazingly

with charcoal and graphite.
