adopted into His family!

found this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t-NAum8kY8, have a watch :) in case you don't have time, i'll explain what it is :) it's of the 400m men's sprint in the barcelona olympics, and one of the runners falls to the ground half way through, in a lot of pain from his leg. the clip shows the other competitors finishing the race while he is still on the ground, until he gets up and begins to limp around the track, to finish the race. he's coming up to the last 100m or so, when a man runs out onto the track to him, and fights off security to get to him. it's the runner's father, and he supports him and runs the last few metres with him.

i have an amazing father, who would no doubt do that for me if i was in that circumstance. however, no earthly father can be as loving or as great as our Heavenly Father, who gives us all things :) He adopted us into His family, and chose us to be His sons. I think that's pretty amazing :) it also reminds me that, as a Christian, i have a race to run, and if i can't quite make it, or face troubles along the way, my Father will pick me up and help me or carry me through :)

i reckon i'm pretty fortunate to have the most amazing dad ever, and then to be able to call the Living God my father also :)
