Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi, Sending across something I read loooooong time back and it helped me through some tough times. Especially when I thought I would not be able to make it. Had it typed and put up at my workstation so I know & believe I can and that we all CAN. =============== 'In the Greek games, marathon runners raced against each other for the coveted victory wreath. In these games, however, one thing was different from modern marathons. Each runner held aloft a lighted torch. The winner of the race was the one who came in first – with his torch still lit. I can’t imagine a better place of the race of life. Winning isn’t simply a matter of coming first; it depends as much on finishing the run with the light inside us still burning bright. That light is a gentle and quiet spirit, full of peace and hope, which stays alive even when darkness closes in all of us. Keeping the torch lit often requires running more slowly than you would if finishing was your only concern. It can also mean stopping along the way if rain pelts down, or getting help if your fuel supply gets low. It may call for taking a more circuitous route if the wind along the main highway blows fiercely enough to threaten the flame. Whatever it takes, God still wants us to cross the finish line with our torches still burning bright.'
