‘Let’s finish the race together’
By Pastor Earnie Jones - Your pastor speaks
Several years ago, I read an article written in an “Our Daily Bread” devotion. In the 2016 Rio Olympics 500-meter race, American Abbey D’Agostino collided with New Zealander Nikki Hamblin and both fell. Abbey bounced up but stopped to help Nikki. Once they started running again, Abbey began to limp. Obviously, she was injured in the collision and the fall. This time, Nikki stopped and encouraged her athletic opponent to finish the race. When Abbey eventually stumbled across the finish line, Nikki was waiting there to embrace her.
