Both these pictures were on the front page of the New York Times. I found them heartbreaking, ironic, and inspiring. They made me think of the following scriptures and how true the bible is:
“Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.” Ecclesiastes 9:11
“Do you know know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run in such a way as to obtain the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24
“So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all…” Ecclesiastes 11:8a
