ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories is of our family learning about Eric Liddell (when the boys were small), and then watching Matt run around the yard as fast as he could every time he went out to play! Another memory, not so favorite, was when our family went out for a walk and Matt took off running as fast as he could with his head down, and ran right into the back of a parked car! What a frightening experience that was. Praise the LORD, he didn't get too badly hurt, a little banged up and bruised, but I believe that incident halted his 'Eric Liddle' persona for quite a long while. I'm happy to say, Matt has resumed running, and anticipates running with his father and brother more now that the weather is beginning to cool back down.
Congratulations! I admire your discipline and effort to 'run the race with patience' Heb. 12:1.
