Everytime I see this video I cry. It might be the song. It might be that the verse is one of my favorites, also shared by my grandmom whom I miss so much. It might be that I watched my dad run marathons and triathalons growing up and know that the father in this video is ultimately sacrificing to give his son the joy of the race. It might be that I now understand better than ever what a parent will do to offer fullness of life for their child no matter the circumstances. It might be the smile of victory that crosses his sons face because of the sacrifice of his father. It might be that it blows me away when I think of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ and of God sending his son to die a terrible death so that I can live in peace and freedom from sin. Whatever the reason I wanted to share this with you as we leave Easter weekend...that we never forget His sacrifice and take it for granted by not living in the freedom of forgiveness he made possible. I praise God that My Redeemer Lives!!!

What a beautiful story. The love of a parent for a child is beyond words (this I know) but the love of God for us is beyond that (more than I can comprehend). What an amazing God we serve!!!
Thank you for sharing! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
Oh goodness! I am crying uncontrollably. That is so amazingly beautiful. Thank you for posting that.
