Running The Relays of Life

[Ava Gabrielle]

Good Morning World! Life is not only a marathon, but at times it can be a relay. If we would learn the necessary lessons along the way, we would not have to repeat them thereby requiring the need for more endurance. Each day is an opportunity to examine our character and integrity against the standard that is set by the Word of God. Put the mirror of God's Word to your life. How do you look? Have a great day!

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1 Corinthians 9:24

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11

Quote of the Day: Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” Helen Keller

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson. Tom Bodett

 Life will teach you the lessons, it is up to you to learn them. Author Unknown
