Life---The Constant Struggle For Survival(By T.J. Riegle)War-Peace, Love-Hate, Birth-Death---trying to survive it all,Even though (deep down) we know we’re all terminal.We exercise then flex, we primp then pose---all in vainAs age robs the physical beauty we seek to obtain.Is it really worth all the unnecessary fussAs the body slowly breaks down and abandons us?Quitters say, “Why bother? It isn’t worth the strife.â€Fighters fight the good fight, the quest for life.Christians are fighters, and prayer warriors too,As they try to defeat each foe life throws in front of you.Staunch fortitude serves as an inspiration to someTo run life’s race….as if it can be won.But let’s not lose sight of the more important goals---What God has in-store for His most faithful souls.The real race is not a matter of the distance run.Rather, it is all about acceptance of the Father’s Son.I have no doubt Mandy realized all of this by now.She is in good hands after taking a final bow.In the meantime, march onward until your own final curtain falls.Continue to fight the good fight until the Saviour calls.“Onward Christian soldier marching as to warWith the cross of Jesus going on before.â€
